Go Gray by U.S. Girls

4...according to our on Thu 28 Jan, 2010.

'Go Grey' is the second outing from hypnotic space face Megan Remy, a.k.a U.S Girls. Recently hailed as the new Eno by press folk and people who should know better, U.S Girls are a serious proposition in the new world of huantological, hypnogogic space rock and pop with 'Go Grey' sounding not unlike something beamed down from outer space. Merging the worlds of noise and psychedelia with the practical methods applied in lo-fi home recording M. Remy creates and truly unique, if slightly unsettled sound and sees her using anything and everything at her disposal to achieve the appropriate sound. Tracks are primarily made up of basic, sometime drum less rhythms, vocals and reverb saturated guitars but this doesn't seem to be too significant, it's the atmosphere of the recording and the tension created within these pieces that is of most significance. 'Go Grey' is full of strange improvisations and odd ideas that will no doubt confuse and delight in eual measures.

The second full-length release by U.S. Girls is an even more fully realized excursion into a hazy alternate universe where pop vocals and muzzy scree fuse in harmony.Produced by Pete Swanson (Yellow Swans), Go Grey conjures up ambient aerosols while luminous kaleidoscopes of sound sizzle, peak, and explode. Megan Remy is a chanteuse from (perhaps) the future, guiding all whoc hoose to sail an evocative trip through her unique auralhallucinogenic landscapes. It s a journey of lush vistas,warm currents, and complex beauties. 23nd-Century style,of course. So come aboard and see why U.S. Girlsis being hailed the Eno of the 50s the 2250s! Can you imagine? Let's hope so.
