When an artist follows her instinct, rather than money or trends, she can find inspiration anywhere. It was instinct that first led Meg Remy out of her Illinois hometown as a teenager in the early aughts. Not long after making that initial life-changing departure, it was instinct that led Remy to start performing solo under a plural moniker, U.S. Girls. Decades into her storied career as the visionary behind the now critically-acclaimed U.S. Girls project, it was instinct that led Remy to blurt out “we should make a record together” to guitarist Dillon Watson at a hotel bar in Arkansas after playing a festival in Hot Springs, setting in motion the already classic Scratch It, out June 20, 2025 on 4AD.
