U.S. Girls

Fri   Apr   02   2027 - 4:45 PM Jackson Terminal

U.S. Girls is the self-renewing project of Toronto-based American artist Meg Remy. For nearly two decades, Remy has used the recording studio as a site of experimentation, taking popmusic apart to see what else it might become. Across a catalogue spanning tape collage, psychedelia, soul, disco, and subversive songcraft, the music continually changes shape, drawing new connections between sound, history, and the strange theatre of everyday life. Her recordings include collaborations with Bootsy Collins and Charlie McCoy. Her listeners include Iggy Pop. Beyond records, Remy is the author of Begin by Telling and composed the score for Grace Glowicki’s Dead Lover, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2025.

The live incarnation of U.S. Girls is an experiment in its own right. Shifting lineups and reimagined arrangements ensure that the recordings are never the whole story. Remy’s physical, often unpredictable performances make the body another instrument in the music. She has shared stages with Silver Apples, Belle and Sebastian, Peaches, The National, and many others. U.S. Girls remains a project without a fixed destination, continually expanding into whatever comes next.
