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.

Carrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It wasn’t planned, just a couple busy lifestyles
I hope you're well, I hope to see you soon
But all the same, in case I don’t get to
You were always right there on the double
You were always game to find a bit of trouble
You were always there to laugh when life got down
I will always think of you with a smile
I will always love that I got to hang around
A friend like you who could always make things better
Stormy seas or easy weather
I'm so glad I have a friend like you
Next time, please, let the coffee be on me
We'll spend a couple hours in the café, save me a seat
Catch up on things, people, places, and pets, too
Whatever you want to say, I want to know it, yes I do
You were always right there on the double
You were always game to find a bit of trouble
You were always there to laugh when life got down
I will always think of you with a smile
Even if we haven’t hung out in a while
I will always love that I got to hang around
A friend like you who could always make things better
Stormy seas or easy weather
If I ever got caught in a bind
I know that you’d be there to find me
I'm so glad I have a friend like you
You were always right there on the double
You were always game to find a bit of trouble
You were always there to laugh when life got down
I will always think of you with a smile
Even if we haven’t hung out in a while
I will always love that I got to hang around
A friend like you who could always make things better
Stormy seas or easy weather
If I ever got caught in a bind
I know that you’d be there to find me
Winter, spring, or summer, fall
I know you’ll be there for it all
I'm so glad I have a friend like you
