Today's episode features my conversation with Meg Remy of the Toronto-based experimental pop project U.S. Girls. U.S. Girls was formed in 2007, and she released music on a variety of independent record labels before signing to 4AD in 2015.

Half Free, her first record for 4AD, garnered a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2016, and was a shortlisted finalist for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize. Her next records In a Poem Unlimited (2018) and Heavy Light (2020) also received the same accolades. Meg collaborates with a number of Toronto-based musicians on both songwriting and music production.

In our conversation we discuss her eighth record Bless This Mess, which came out on February 24th. We talk about the creation of music while pregnant, as well as the documentation of the transformative effects of motherhood on her physical body, her personal connections, and worldview.
