Copacetic is an album by Velocity Girl, released in 1993. It is their first full-length album and features the singles 'Crazy Town' and 'Audrey's Eyes,' both of which were given music videos. The album's title derives from an American slang word meaning 'everything's ok'.[9] Its sound is heavily influenced by shoegaze, a subgenre of indie rock. 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'.[9]
A review in Lime Lizard at the time of its release drew comparisons with My Bloody Valentine, stating 'this could be the rejected demos for Isn't Anything'.[5]
The album was listed among '75 Lost Classics' in the Spring 2007 issue of Magnet.[10]
