Copacetic (Velocity Girl album)

The album was produced by Bob Weston and was recorded over five days for less than $5,000.^[4][5] Its sound is heavily influenced by shoegaze. Kelly Riles described the recording of the album: "We mixed the album in a very different way than people would have expected us to—it's very rough sounding. It's a deliberate move away from the lighter production on the singles".^[3]

A review in Lime Lizard at the time of its release drew comparisons with My Bloody Valentine, stating that "this could be the rejected demos for Isn't Anything".^[13] The Washington Post noted that "the noisy dream-pop works some of the time (the opening 'Pretty Sister', for example), although when it gets too dreamy (the over-long 'Here Comes', the instrumental 'Candy Apples') it can just seem vague."^[14] Trouser Press wrote: "Despite being taken as shoegazers, Velocity Girl makes its songs here jump up and down rather than simply stare at the floor."^[15]

The album was listed among "75 Lost Classics" in the Spring 2007 issue of Magnet.^[16]
