Today, U.S. Girls’ the protean musical enterprise of multi-disciplinary artist Meg Remy, releases the trippy music video for ‘And Yet It Moves / Y Se Mueve’ off the internationally acclaimed 2020 album Heavy Light. The video, created by artist Evan Gordon, pairs the “clever [and] cutting” (Wall Street Journal) song with reversible figures and hallucinatory images that combine Remy’s misplaced features with animated bodies.

Heavy Light was produced by Remy, who also co-wrote the album with Basia Bulat and Rich Morel to develop the set of songs conceived as a balance between orchestral percussion (as richly arranged by percussionist Ed Squires) and the human voice (conducted by Kritty Uranowski).
The resulting album finds Remy casting herself as lead voice among a harmonious multitude, the singers of which lend not only their voices, but also share reflections on childhood experiences that are collaged into moving spoken word interludes throughout the album. The album was mixed by long-time collaborators Maximilian ‘Twig’ Turnbull, Steve Chahley and Tony Price.
Praise For Heavy Light
The Sunday Times – Album of the Week“Glassy, danceable pop songs that smolder with radical undercurrents.” The New Yorker“One of the U.S’s most brilliant, magnetic performers.” The Guardian“Only the mind of Meg Remy can take the trauma inflicted on Earth and our childhoods and create something as wonderful as Heavy Light, another vivid and highly affecting album of experimental pop music.” Pitchfork – Best New Music“Masterful.” Q ****“It’s a burst of collective humanity, a coming together of body and voice that takes the lush rhythms of 2018’s In A Poem Unlimited to more spacious heights.” Exclaim!“Irresistible Trojan horse of classic pop.” MOJO ****“The most overly pop-y thing yet issued under the U.S. Girls name.” Metro ****“Disco self-care…with stomping dance tracks and lush ballads.” Rolling Stone “Artfully honest songs.” Uncut “A razor-pointed, laser-guided pop record that speaks with fierce intelligence to the times.”Loud And Quiet “A rush of indelible non sequiturs – vibraphone solos, ripsaws – gives it all an unexpectedly thrilling buzz.” Entertainment Weekly “Luxurious, exuberant, breathless blend of soul and funk, with many sincere gospel flourishes and a handful of gorgeous ballads.” The Line Of Best Fit – Album of the Week
