In the end of last year we were asked to write a song for a record dedicated to Elsa Pires, leader of the longing Bee Keeper. This indie label was the house where our first bands and musical experiences started. “Teenagers’ Comeback” is the deserved tribute, which reunites the musicians that were part of the catalog and all the adventures taken by Bee Keeper. The record will be released on the last trimester of the year with Skud & Smarty’s imprint.
We immediately entered this project and decided, besides having Elsa in mind, to dedicate the song to our dear Carlos that left us eight years ago today. He started all this ten years ago with us! “Charlie” is the first advance of the compilation and is a song which puts us back in the nineties – overdrive guitars and lo-fi recordings, like we’re reminded of the times we wrote and shared music with him. Without being purposely a way to follow on the next Norton’s album, this is just a moment we put our hearts into and remember someone we miss in our days. A Norton.
Carlos, this one goes out for you. Miss you always!
Rodolfo, Pedro, Leonel, Manuel
