We can’t stop smiling either… 30 years of Velocity Girl’s ¡Simpatico! Initially emerging as a noisy, shoegazer-ish outfit cranking out what guitarist and vocalist Archie Moore describes as a “murky noise rock, a sorta half-assed Sonic Youth sound,” velocitygirlband promptly turned their attention to the sunnier side of the street, cleaning up their approach and emphasizing tunefulness over distortion. While the Bob Weston-produced debut LP, Copacetic, is an impressive opening gambit, it’s the follow-up, 1994’s ¡Simpatico!, that best displays Velocity Girl’s powers, 12 tracks of unerringly impressive indie pop packed into just under 35 minutes.” Stream away wherever you swim in the digital realm. #velocitygirl #90smusic #subpop #indiepop
