Meg Remy as U.S. Girls will perform songs from her critically acclaimed album Half Free. The record is an honest and lyrically jarring exploration of emotions, drenched in a bath of raw beats and loops. Other album guests include Slim Twig (DFA), Ben Cook (Fucked Up, Young Guv), Amanda Crist (Ice Cream) and Tony Price.
NME has described her album, Half Free, as “the unmistakable sound of a star being born” and NZ Listener as “Menacing, but masterful“. Meg’s home country, Canada, has confirmed the praise with a prestigious JUNO Awards nomination for Best Alternative Album.
Navy & Cream is the next track from Half Free to get its own accompanying video. Working with artist and animator Emily Pelstring, whose hand-drawn animations coupled with footage of Meg singing have been processed through various equipment like VJ software, a video projector, an antique video camera and an analog color-corrector before being mixed with a feedback loop on one channel and the original source material on the other to create a beguiling montage of screen-glare, echoing trails and softened edges.
