Description
The much - awaited eighth album, 'Bless This Mess', by U.S. Girls (the stage name of North American multi - disciplinary and experimental pop artist Meg Remy), is set for release on 24 February. This album is a vibrant collection of skillful melodies. It's a profound artistic take on the complexities of motherhood, created alongside the conception and birth of Remy’s twin boys. It broadens U.S. Girls' sonic and thematic scope, blending funk, mythology, and the wild disorientation of joy into an electrifying mix of anthems, heartaches, and awakenings. As Remy's body changed during pregnancy, so did her voice. Many recordings of 'Bless This Mess' were made with the babies in the womb or in her arms. The album even samples her breast pump in the poetic closing track, 'Pump'. The performances are full of the physical experiences of this journey: more raw emotions, the intertwined wonders and pains of procreation. The ten songs on 'Bless This Mess' were carefully assembled stem by stem with a large group of collaborators like Alex Frankel of Holy Ghost!, Marker Starling, Ryland Blackinton of Cobra Starship, Basia Bulat, Roger Manning Jr. of Jellyfish and Beck, and audio engineers Neal H Pogue, Ken Sluiter, Steve Chahley, and Maximilian Turnbull. Long - time collaborator, husband, and co - parent Turnbull played a crucial role in bringing these ideas to life. The production is top - notch, warm, and gives a rich, harmonious texture to the voice, keys, bass, and rhythms.
