U.S. Girls have been a long time favourite (we even played them on BBC Radio 6 last year), so it's great news that they're finally embarking on a tour.

By Jspicer on Mar 05 2012 As a red-blooded American male, the female form has often been a subject of intense scrutiny for me. When it finds its way into music, either as lyrical inspiration or album art (as is the case with the flexible figure gracing the cover of The Island Song ), it flicks on switches in my male brain (and yes, penis). Megan Remy’s ability to tap into the primal of the male mind while maintaining female individuality is on display throughout The Island Song . The two-song 7-inch blends danceable rhythm with sharp melody, creating a hot ...

(KRAAK, 2011) I've never been able to get into U.S. Girls, though I've wanted to.  Megan Remy's project felt like the female counterpart to San Francisco's The Hospitals (RIP) in some ways, which was always a really exciting prospect.  Previous releases though, while interestingly caustic, have been somehow (and it's hard to describe why exactly) just not quite enjoyable enough for repeated listens.   U.S. Girls on KRAAK , however, finds Remy's U.S. Girls project really finding its feet, offering squawk and squalor in addition to hooks and a really bizarre, kind of ...

esto no pretende ser una lista de "lo mejor de 2011". necesitaría tres vidas para escuchar todo lo que se ha publicado este año, así que seguro me pierdo auténticas joyas. son cincuenta canciones presentadas en orden alfabético, escogidas de entre las que más me han gustado este año y que, como ocurre con las del resto del blog, están disponibles en la red en descarga legal y gratuita. pueden bajarse individualmente, pero yo recomiendo pillar las dos carpetas y escucharlas del tirón. ojalá las disfrutéis tanto como yo. 50 canciones de 2011 (1-25) (171 mb) 50 canciones de 2011 ...

U.S. Girls /// If These Walls Could Talk Dir. Molly Landergan Sencillo del disco Split 12”

Well as best of lists abound here at the end of the year, there naturally arise albums that we overlooked in the last 12 months (there are many, we're sure). Meghan Remy's latest turn as U.S. Girls definitely falls under this category. U.S. girls on KRAAAK is Remy's most pop effort to date, even including a cover of Brandy and Monica's "The Boy is Mine" that comes off like a dark love call from the shadows. Its proof that Remy can't be pinned down by the expectations of noise pop. She bounces from ...

Greece was going into financial meltdown, New Zealand suffered a second major earthquake and the Occupy movement starts with a Canadian anti-consumerist magazine registers the domain OccupyWallStreet.org and proposes a peaceful demonstration in New York City. While the world shook in more ways than one the best music of the month was strangely relaxed with a distinct absence of teenage angst. The world we know was changing in ways we are unable to predict so the music industry headed for the beach. Milk Maid - Not Me by Fat Cat Records Summer Camp - I Want You by Posh Magazine Slow ...

by teepoo U.S. Girls is that it’s the moniker for Megan Remy. She’s recently released a 7″ on Belgian label Kraak. Maybe it’s because they can properly appreciate this rather interesting lo-fi psych pop. It took me a couple listens to appreciate it properly but after 5 listens, I couldn’t stop. The album was co-produced [...]

Welcome to our 'Ones to Watch' list for 2012. Much like our list last year, or any list like this in the future, it isn't about trying to prove how great we are at predicting who's going to sell the most records next year. If you want that list, feel free to email us. No, this list is about providing you with a bunch of bands/artists we feel could release something special over the course of 2012. "But wait, I've heard of [Insert Band] before! They're not very new!" Again, we're not concerned with ...

U.S. Girls is releasing two 7-inches on a new label of their own design. Even though her new long-player, U.S. Girls on Kraak, is coming out on (guess) Kraak, it looks like Megan Remy has decided to satisfy archivists by releasing two 7-inches on her own label. the first one is the single "The Island Song", which is on the Kraak release and already has a video, but it comes with a b-side, "High School Poetry," which was produced by Onakabazien. The second 7-inch will also be ...

Check out this track on the Free Music Archive of U.S. Girls remixed by Peaking Lights. The distant vox are made sexy by layering them below those charming, blunt keyboard tonalities. Peaking Lights are 2011's "Best Band to Get Busy To That's Not Hip Hop or Rap", and this remix is something to add to the mix you put on when that special someone comes over. Since the song is in the Free Music Archive, you can download it and distribute it as you like. Definitely Christmas mixtap...

Peaking Lights can’t seem to get enough of remixes these days. They have a new remix EP coming out next month on Weird World Record Co., you can stream some of those and some other remixes of their songs here. And below you can stream Peaking Lights’ brand new take on the U.S. Girls gem [...]
