about

Quando se fala da cena musical alternativa e independente portuguesa dos anos 90, a Bee Keeper é uma das mais genuínas referências. A partir de um sótão em Lisboa, Elsa Pires criou um veículo de expressão para levar a música de que gostava o mais longe possível. A maior parte das bandas que editou deu os primeiros passos no catálogo da colmeia. Sempre movida pela estética Do It Yourself, ela dizia que não importava como as canções eram registadas, mas sim a sua essência. As obras que lançou conquistaram muitas pessoas também pelo toque pessoal e manual que tornava cada exemplar numa peça única.

“Teenagers from Outer Space Comeback” é uma sentida homenagem por todo o trabalho que a Elsa desenvolveu. E um disco de uma família que não se reunia há muito tempo. A Skud & Smarty Records desafiou algumas das bandas e músicos que pertenceram às várias edições da Bee Keeper, como Jaguar, Radioactive Man, Pinhead Society, Alien Picnic, Plasticine, More República Masónica, Toast ou Yolk, para celebrarem a ocasião com temas inéditos, gravados em casa, da forma mais simples possível. Os escoceses Pastels e os norte-americanos Tullycraft, que pertenciam ao universo da Elsa, também aceitaram o convite e contribuíram para esta compilação especial, exclusivamente em vinil vermelho e limitada a 300 exemplares, em homenagem ao “Teenagers” original, editado em 1996.

When it comes to the Portuguese independent and alternative music scene of the 90s, Bee Keeper is one of the most genuine references. From an attic in Lisbon, Elsa Pires created a vehicle of expression to take the music she liked as far as possible. Most of the bands she released took their first steps in the beehive’s catalogue. Always driven by DIY aesthetics, she said that it didn't matter how the songs were recorded, but their essence. The oeuvres she launched also conquered many people through the personal and manual touch that made each copy unique.

“Teenagers from Outer Space Comeback” is a tribute to all the work Elsa has done. And a record from a family that hadn't been together for a long time. Skud & Smarty Records challenged some of the bands and musicians who belonged to Bee Keeper’s several editions, such as Jaguar, Radioactive Man, Pinhead Society, Alien Picnic, Plasticine, More República Masónica, Toast or Yolk, to celebrate the occasion with unreleased songs, recorded at home, as simply as possible. The Pastels (Scotland) and Tullycraft (USA), who belonged to Elsa’s universe, also accepted the invitation and contributed to this special compilation, exclusively in red vinyl and limited to 300 copies, in tribute to the original “Teenagers from Outer Space” released in 1996.

This isn’t a record review. Or maybe it is. But I fell asleep while listening to this album and had a wonderful dream: I was riding my bike through a fictional version of the city where I was born. You know what I mean- familiar, but strangely new? I rode through predawn darkness. The sun began to rise and made the city glow. Two buildings stood out, a liquor store and a pasta factory. I woke up in a happy mood and carried that feeling throughout the day. Joe
