¡Simpatico! is the second album by Velocity Girl.[7][8] It was released in June 1994.[9]

Compared to the band's debut album Copacetic, ¡Simpatico! showed more traditional indie pop/ power pop influences, rather than noisy shoegaze tendencies. "Sorry Again" was released as a single (via a CD EP with three non-album tracks, and a 7" with one non-album track). "What You Left Behind" features rare male lead vocals.
