Crystal Beth- Push thru (CD)
Crystal Beth unleashes her first full-length studio record, PUSH THRU, a solo incarnation using wailing vocals, amplified clarinet, beat-boxing and electronics to weave a sonic universe all her own. She has been described as "world music from an imaginary planet" (Seattle Times), "a supremely versatile and virtuosic maverick" (The Stranger), and "fearless and innovative" (Earshot Jazz). Known for crafting aural rituals that encompass industrial chants, alien disco breaks, heart gushings, and robot love songs, Crystal Beth redefines the possibilities of the voice and clarinet in tight experimental pop songs and undulating, cathartic noise cries. She was voted Seattle's Best Classical Musician, nominated for NW Vocalist of the Year and under her full name, Beth Fleenor, she has recorded with Wayne Horvitz, Jherek Bischoff, and Julie Slick, among many others.
