Velocity Girl - UltraCopacetic

Velocity Girl, a key player in the 1990s indie-pop scene, has revisited their roots with UltraCopacetic, an expanded and remixed edition of their debut album Copacetic. The band, originally formed in the late ‘80s near Washington, D.C., became known for their fusion of Britpop hooks with the fuzzy guitars of shoegaze. This latest release isn’t just a remaster; it’s a reimagining of what their debut could have been if they had the skills and technology available today. The band has gone back to the original tapes and, with years of experience under their belt, remixed and expanded the album to include a treasure trove of bonus tracks and Peel Sessions. But is it worth your time? Let’s dig into what the critics think.
