The Ropers - Cool Self

Here's a lovely song from another Washington DC-area band. The Ropers shared a few members with the early Lilys and also shared their serious My Bloody Valentine fetish, although this particular track, from their 1993 Sunbathe EP, is (indie-)poppier than most.

There are a couple ex-Ropers still together - and still shoegazing - under the name (The Sounds of) Kaleidoscope.

Always loved this song-remember listening to a tape copy Linda Smith gave me all the time... until it got so old it sounded all muffled...great to hear again!Thanks for posting this little Velvets inspired gem!
