Velocity Girl - Ultracopacetic (Copacetic Remixed And Expanded)

Copacetic came out in 1993 and people seemed to like it just
fine, but within the band there was a sense of disappointment to the point where most members couldn’t stand to hear the record.
Between then and now, the band learned a lot about recording, and Archie Moore developed a career in audio work, and the band
finally decided to revisit Copacetic. After extensive digging, the 2” tape reels appeared in Jim’s ex-wife’s mother’s house, and in the
spring of 2023 Archie began working on a remix. Song by song the new mixes emerged just as the band envisioned them. Soaring
vocals from Sarah (who studied opera in college), chiming lead guitar, juicy fuzzed out rhythm guitars and clear pounding drums. The
pop songs are much poppier. The sonic blasts are more powerful, and the record hangs together as a cohesive document that flows
from song to song. The approach was not to make a 2024 sounding record but rather to go back to the 1992 mindset and create the
record the band should have made then. The result, UltraCopacetic (Copacetic Remixed and Expanded), is an exciting alternate
history of Copacetic. And, while they were at it, the band dug up and refreshed the rest of their studio material from the era:
Ultracopacetic includes “Warm/Crawl” from the Velocity Girl/Tsunami split 7”, “Creepy” from the Crazy Town 7”, “Stupid Thing” from the
Audrey’s Eyes 7”, and the unreleased album outtake “Even Die.” Topping it all off is the band’s complete five-song 1993 John Peel
session, including two tracks that haven’t been heard since the original broadcast. UltraCopacetic is truly the definitive version of
Velocity Girl’s first record. T
