New album from the solo project of Megan Remy. US Girls is the perfect name for Remy’s project, as there’s something iconoclastically USA about her feel for classic stripped-down song-forms and rock/roll specific minimalism. Aspects of Springsteen’s classic Nebraska, the first Suicide album, Meredith Monk and even Elvis Presley’s Sun Session (think of the late night-time sound of the original version of “Blue Moon”) are filtered through a diffuse fog of F/X and looped rhythms to generate a music that sounds like the after-image in space of primitive 20^th century pop/rock culture. “Red Ford Radio” is one of her best tracks yet, a simple obsessive vocal pattern over dunting rhythms that feels like the reverse reflection of The Modern Lovers’ “Roadrunner.” Highly recommended.

Edition of 300 copies single from Megan Remy’s US Girls, two blurry femme-pop instants buried beneath fuzz keyboards, drum machine and swooning out of focus vocals. Comes with a download coupon.
