94. U.S. Girls - A Line in the Sand is Not a Wall

In this episode we get to meet Meg Remy, the driving force behind the chameleonic indie rock project, U.S. Girls. Remy may be the driver, but the group around her is always changing - both in terms of style and personnel - depending on what track a given project is taking. This time, it's new album Scratch It, which was recorded live to tape in Nashville with a group of Nashville musicians. In this chat, we talk a lot about the album, which is being dubbed her "rock record" by many (though not really by Remy herself), including the production, themes, ideas, and history of it. We also talk about the band as a whole and what it really is, is not, and everything in between. We touch on the epic first single "Bookends" and what it says about human life, as well as her first stint at film scoring. Thank you for listening.
