About Meghan Remy
Meghan Remy is an American and Canadian musician, author, and record producer. She is the sole member of U.S. Girls, a Toronto-based experimental pop project formed in 2007. She had released music on a variety of independent record labels before signing to 4AD in 2015.
Half Free, her first record for 4AD, was released the same year. It 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. Remy collaborates with a number of Toronto-based musicians on both songwriting and music production.
In 2021, Remy released her first book, Begin by Telling, published by Bookhug Press. CBC.ca wrote that " experimental pop sensation Meg Remy spins a web out from her body to myriad corners of American hyper-culture. Through illustrated lyric essays depicting memories from early childhood to present day, Remy paints a stark portrait of a spectacle-driven country."
Remy moved the band to Toronto from Chicago in 2010 after marrying Canadian musician Max "Slim Twig" Turnbull. Alongside Turnbull, she operates record label Calico Corp., and sometimes performs as a guest vocalist with Turnbull's Badge Époque Ensemble.
Remy is a permanent resident of Canada.
