Albee was a founding member (vocals and guitar) of the punk rock riot grrrl band Excuse 17 with Curtis J. Phillips (drums) and Carrie Brownstein (guitar and vocals).

Albee's art career has included photography, video, sculpture, and installations. It was inspired by a book by her historian father about a fake autobiography published by actress Joan Lowell in 1929 about her childhood growing up on a ship. In 2017 she had a solo exhibit prismataria that employed a custom rotating light fixture to bathe a suite of photographs, many depicting feminist books. From December 2019-February 2020, Albee exhibited "List Projects 20: Becca Albee" at the MIT List Visual Arts Center. According to the press release, the exhibition "engag[ed] two distinct sites of research and production—the archive and Brooklyn’s Plumb Beach to reflect on deep and mortal time scales, as well as the enduring impact of a relationship frozen in memory." It featured Albee's photography of correspondence and other material in her friend and teacher Robert Blanchon's personal and professional papers at the Fales Library and Special Collections, as well as material related to the population of horseshoe crabs at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn. == References ==
