¡Simpatico! (Loser Edition Colour Vinyl)
- The classic 1994 sophomore album by indie-rock hitmakers Velocity Girl, remastered and back in print, with a bonus album compiling singles and rarities from the ¡Simpatico! era. Formed in 1989, Velocity Girl were one of the leading lights of 1990s indie-pop, fusing the hooks of Britpop with the fuzzy guitars of shoegaze. They released three albums on Sub Pop between 1993 and 1996, and reached the mainstream with a song on the platinum-selling soundtrack to the classic teen film Clueless. Album recorded at Cue Studios, Falls Church, VA, with John Porter (The Smiths, Billy Bragg, The Alarm). Bonus material at Inner Ear Studios, Arlington, VA. Re-mastered by Golden Mastering in 2025.
CD - THE BELFAST SESSIONS
This, our latest collection of songs, was recorded at RedBox Studios in Belfast. We’ve wanted to record there for awhile now and finally the timing was right for all. Dónal O’Connor one of the owners, produced it with expertise, poise, patience and not a few threats, the main one being “no more Guinness till youse get this track right.” Inspirational words indeed! He was somehow able to corral us and steer us in the right direction on each song. I’m sure he’d love to work with us again – maybe! We had a great time all together recording there, and hopefully dear fans you’ll enjoy listening. In these uncertain times remember, music hath charms to soothe a savage breast. I think that was a quote from Paul McCartney, or possibly Bob Dylan. Enjoy!
