Masterminded by experimental songwriter Meghan Remy, Polaris Music Prize nominee U.S. Girls developed from a noisy, abrasive solo act into a larger-than-life pop group. Remy's fascination with girl group melodrama and eerie soul music grew from cloudy experiments in her early days to ambitious arrangements and detailed art pop production on albums like 2018's In a Poem Unlimited and 2020's Heavy Light, and abstracted disco and R&B influences on 2023's Bless This Mess.
