Description
The highly anticipated seventh album by U.S. Girls, the protean musical enterprise of multidisciplinary artist Meg Remy, was released on 6 March entitled Heavy Light.While Remy has been widely acclaimed for a panoply of closely observed character studies, on Heavy Light she turns inward, recounting personal narratives to create a deeply introspective aboutface. The songs are an inquest into the melancholy flavour of hindsight, both personal and cultural. Remy makes this notion formally explicit with the inclusion of three reworked, previously released songs lsquoStatehouse Itrsquos A Manrsquos Worldrsquo, lsquoRed Ford Radiorsquo, and lsquoOvertimersquo, the latter of which is released today as Heavy Lightrsquos lead single. Its companion video, which stars Andrea Nann of the Dreamwalker Dance Company, was created by Remy.Heavy Light follows 2018rsquos internationally criticallyacclaimed breakout album In A Poem Unlimited. Recently named one of the best albums of the decade by Pitchfork, it was lauded across the pond by the likes of The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Crack and Q magazine for being Remyrsquos most accessible record in her then decadelong career.
