Where's Beth - Ache Is A Cricket In The Night (2026) Hi-Res

Good to great singer-songwriters seem to be creeping up on us daily (again!)—artists obviously seem to have a greater need to try and express their personal sensibilities and whatnot as much as they did in the early ‘70s. Stressing that good or great epithet, we can add to that list Seattle’s Sarabeth Weszely, who took the moniker of Where’s Beth.

Weszely has been around for a few years now and has some early recordings, but Ache Is Cricket In The Night stands officially as her second album and can easily serve as the best possible introduction to a wider audience.

The fact that the album was recorded live in her Seattle home studio might surprise some, as the sound has that perfect studio pitch quality, all due to Weszely’s song quality, excellent vocals and subtle literary references within her lyrics. At the same time, she has created a sense of intimate storytelling that permeates the eight songs here making Weszely a singer-songwriter to watch (and listen to) more closely.
