Velocity Girl’s “1989-1992” gathers the key recordings from the band’s early years on Slumberland Records, documenting their rise from Washington, DC’s emerging indie-pop underground. Even in these formative recordings, the group’s gift for combining infectious melodies, swirling guitars and wistful songwriting is unmistakable.
The collection spans multiple line-ups and early releases, including the enduring favourite ‘Forgotten Favorite’ and debut single ‘I Don’t Care If You Go’, featuring original vocalist Bridget Cross. Alongside essential singles and compilation tracks are covers of songs by Beat Happening and The Jam, plus two previously unreleased recordings.
With extensive liner notes by John R. Davis, “1989-1992″ offers a comprehensive overview of the band’s earliest chapter and the foundations of one of indie pop’s most beloved groups.
