U.S. Girls releasing new Motown-tinged, acid-tinged EP in September

White wine. Pinterest. Classic girl groups. Posting about drinking white wine while listening to classic girl groups on Pinterest. Adele Adele Adele!!! Have you heard of Adele? Everybody’s into pseudo-soul these days, it seems, and they want you to know it. Even Meg Remy of U.S. Girls is feeling a soul vibe lately, it seems. Except, of course, that Meg Remy’s take on Motown sounds nothing like a $9.99 Starbucks soul sampler and way more like, say, a scratched 45 recorded when a Motown producer and a bouffant-sporting Hollywood hopeful took too much acid (or just enough acid?) and started jamming with a talking lizard and a super stoned tree frog, both of whom were heavily informed by the North American garage rock and lo-fi traditions.

Yes, that is exactly what it sounds like. You’ll see! You’ll see when U.S. Girls releases a new EP called Free Advice Column on September 24 via Bad Actors, following up last year’s GEM (TMT Review) on FatCat. Remy worked with Canadian hip-hop producer Onakabazien on this one, having previously paired up for a version of the Brandy and Monica classic, “The Boy Is Mine,” available on the U.S. Girls on Kraak LP. You can check out the new track “Overtime” below, via The Fader:
