1) Carrie is a story that begins in 2001, when Laura Becerra (singer/songwriter) decided to start a solo project after playing with indie bands Mery Poppins (as a drummer), Barón Ashler and Miyagi (as a bassist). At first, Carrie created simple songs using nothing but an acoustic guitar, mostly influenced by artists such as The Softies, Cat Power or Hope Sandoval. Later, experimenting with sequences, new instruments and digital noises, the project evolved into a mixture of indie pop, folk and electronic, something closer to what music specialists like to call Indietronica.

She is one of the founders of Abolipop, alongside Eric Gamboa (E.lebleu) and Israel Martínez (Nébula 3), an electronic music label based in Guadalajara. Her music appeared in the label’s first compilation “No estamos solos” with the song “Cat Power”, in 2003. Other songs have appeared in compilations of Mexican labels including: “Mars”, in “Minimas Texturas 007” (Discos Konfort, 2003). “Eco” in “Máximas Texturas” (Discos Konfort, 2004) – named "Compilation of the Year" by the readers of Quartz, an international arts and music forum based in Paris (www.quartz.org). “Sounds like Display” in “Marzo” (Soundsister, 2004). “I Sabotage” on the audio-narrative net.label “Música para Espías” directed and founded by Fran Ilich.

In 2005, she released her debut album, “Honey Blue Star” with the Tijuana-based label Static Discos and Dearstereofan, in Madrid Spain. The album was produced by label-mate Ruben Tamayo a.k.a. Fax and included collaborations by Fernando Corona a.k.a. Murcof. The album earned excellent reviews in important magazines and webzines.

She has also appeared in International Festivals, like the avant-garde Mutek in México; Plataforma in Puebla, Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival in Montreal, FMEL in Chicago, at FIS (Festival Internacional Sonorama) sharing stage with artists like Yo la Tengo and Tristeza, as well as the prestigious FIB (Festival Internacional de Benicassim) in Spain, appearing also in the Festival's music compilation with artists like The Cure, Xiu Xiu, Ladytron, Fischerspooner, Four Tet, Devendra Banhart and Kings of Convenience.

Carrie, Laura B. from Guadalajara Mexico, is one of the young leading artists in a new wave of sounds coming from Mexico.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to “Ass-Fi” by Carrie provide a commentary on the current state of society, particularly in regards to technology and the way it has amplified our daily lives. The singer wants to understand the meaning behind things, specifically as it relates to HTML code and hacking, but also in terms of the bigger picture of love and war. They challenge the idea that love can be reduced to a “tic-tic” in a “manic machine”, and similarly that war can be brushed aside as a “shup-bomp” in a flag full of stars.

The singer implores the listener to not doubt if they have results to share, emphasizing their own feeling of being trapped and unable to see the way out. The repeated refrain of “ass-fi boy” serves as a statement of frustration or perhaps a criticism of those who prioritize superficial or materialistic aspects of life over deeper meaning.

Overall, the lyrics to “Ass-Fi” offer a thought provoking reflection on the way society functions in the 21st century, and the implications of our relationship with technology and other external factors.
