“Masterful.” - Q ****
“Glassy, danceable pop songs that smolder with radical undercurrents”
– The New Yorker“Restless evolution has been the only constant in Remy’s musical universe”
– New York Times“One of the U.S’s most brilliant, magnetic performers.” - The Guardian“It’s a burst of collective humanity, a coming together of body and voice that takes the lush rhythms of 2018’s In A Poem Unlimited to more spacious heights.”
- Exclaim!
“The most overly pop-y thing yet issued under the U.S. Girls name.” - Metro ****
“Irresistible Trojan horse of classic pop.” - MOJO ****
“Disco self-care…with stomping dance tracks and lush ballads.”
 - Rolling Stone“Artfully honest songs.” - Uncut“A razor-pointed, laser-guided pop record that speaks with fierce intelligence to the times.”
- Loud And Quiet
“A rush of indelible non sequiturs – vibraphone solos, ripsaws – gives it all an unexpectedly thrilling buzz.”
- Entertainment Weekly

Heavy Light was produced by Remy and recorded live with 20 session musicians - including E Street Band saxophonist Jake Clemons - in Montreal’s acclaimed Hotel 2 Tango studio.  Remy worked with co-writers Basia Bulat and Rich Morel to develop the core of Heavy Light, a set of songs conceived as a balance between orchestral percussion (as richly arranged by percussionist Ed Squires) and the human voice (conducted by Kritty Uranowski).  The resulting album finds Remy casting herself as lead voice among a harmonious multitude, the singers of which lend not only their voices, but also share reflections on childhood experiences that are collaged into moving spoken word interludes throughout the album.  The album was mixed by long-time collaborators Maximilian ‘Twig’ Turnbull, Steve Chahley and Tony Price.

Meg Remy will bring her 8-piece U.S. Girls band on tour throughout 2020.  See tour dates below.
