Bee of my mind is a down-tempo darkly ambient sound with unusual melodies. Chase Frank has a bitter-sweet quality to her voice, while also challenging the traditions of popular music. This female vocalists not only sings but plays almost everything on the album. Comparisons have been drawn to PJ Harvey's more intimtate work, and others, but Frank's style is truly unique....musical.
This fearless album features Frank on many instruments (guitar, piano, bass, dulcimer, spoon guitar) and also has several great guest appearances (trumpet, violin, lap steel, etc.). The sweeping vocals are fresh, the lyrics poetic. "Bee of My Mind" demands several listens...like remembering a dream, Frank will remind you to care.
Frank currently performs solo, a completely different sound, The Solo Electro-Indie Guitar Orchestra style she has invented. Live she experiments w/live-loop-sampling. hear her new music at http://www.chasefrank.com or at

wow....what a voice!

I love this album. Chase Frank's voice is so sweet and moody, reminding me of a modern Billy Holiday. The album is something of a journey....very intimate....very tasty. When will we hear the next album?!*#%?

Short, but oh so sweet. Chase Frank's debut is perfect on so many levels. Her voice is a flexible instrument that suits her music's free spirit well.
"Spoon Trick" is an oriental-flavoured track. Frank's voice dips and swoons while David Lizarde's violin gives the right kick.
"Sleepwalking" is a hushed, eerie song that puts focus on the dreamy lead vocal.
"Kickstart" is a playful little ditty with some nice ukulele playing by Frank. Now that's something you don't hear every day. "I've got a taste of your dark heart can't go a day without that kickstart" she sings lustily.
The jazzy strains of "Licorice Root" are very pleasing to the ear. Frank's lovely voice shines here.
"Bee of My mind" is just great.

Want a new flame? This could be it.
author: Rhonda Davis - Editorial Writer
After my complete listening to "Bee of My Mind" by singer songwriter Chase Frank, I am convinced this could be my new flame. I often wait for a new album from an existing artist or a new artist to emerge to flame a new desire and spark a new imaginationscape for my art or mind, and finally I've found one. It's dark and bright spots stay with the listener (as a flash of a camera) and make an impression that doesn't seem to have been made before. I listened and thought of vocal haunts: Jeff Buckly, Bjork, the moodiness of the final Beatle days, with the originality of classic Edith Piaf. There are truly landscapes and colors that stretch out but don't make demands upon the listener, yet are there for the exploring. It is ambient, independant and just plain right there in your reach and at a few points, in your face. I hope Chase Frank gets the due chance she deserves to wash over the dirty ol' record business with something so honest and refreshing. Further there are several guest appea
