Velocity Girl's eponymous debut EP compiles six highlights from a series of singles and contributions to various-artists collections from the early '90s. Half of the record is weighed down by waves of hazy guitars, but the other half is engaging indie-pop, highlighted by "Always," "I Don't Care If You Go" and the wonderful "Forgotten Favorite," ...
This, spinART's initial release, fulfilled a very useful function when it appeared. The U.S. indie-pop revolution had been underway for a couple of years, but at that point the bands were still mainly represented (if at all) by small pressings of seven-inch singles or cassettes. This CD collects good songs already released on 45's by other labels, ...
Radio show host John Peel is known for his great taste in music and open forum for musicians to showcase their music. This compilation of Sub Pop artists performing songs on his British radio program is a great example of the strong performances he can get in his studio setting. Mudhoney starts with the magnificent "By Her Own Hand," a dark ...
Mark Robinson's Teenbeat Records celebrated the label's 50-release mark with a 26-song compilation in 1993. Robinson and friends kicked off the disc with the festive "Teenbeat Theme 1991." Andrew Beaujon's Scaley Andrew project then begins a string of songs from an eclectic roster of Teenbeat artists. Circus Lupus, Vomit Launch, Autoclave, Teenage ...
LP #3 for this fine D.C. quintet is a disappointment. This writer usually loves good, strong production, so the hiring of Cliff Norrell, fresh from his inspired mixing work on Catherine Wheel's Happy Days and R.E.M.'s Automatic For the People, sounded perfect for V.G. Instead, Norrell's taken the spunk out of them. The sound is not too glossy, or ...
The problem with Copacetic was the dingy production, so for Simpatico, Velocity Girl hooks up with the Smiths' first LP producer John Porter. Flaw corrected. Perhaps too much? Some have expressed the opinion that Porter has neutered them somewhat, and indeed, the rawer edges have largely been relinquished, but so what? They sound great now, much ...
Although Velocity Girl never made the major-label leap of bands like Belly or Veruca Salt, it certainly wasn't for lack of talent. But it is difficult to imagine their first proper album, Copacetic, with anything other than indie-label production values. It's essentially a post-shoegazer update of R.E.M.-ish jangle pop, which covers two of the ...
