Emulsion Episode Nine: U.S. Girls Discussing Life Through Film

      When people describe music as cinematic, I believe they mean it has a sound that could fit into a film. This is a reasonable assessment, as music in a movie tends to have that effect. However, the term feels a bit superficial and lacks depth. So, trust me when I say that U.S. Girls, led by American expatriate Meg Remy, truly embodies this cinematic quality with their grand, powerful, and vivid sound. I’ve appreciated her music for years––starting with a very intense foray into ambient, atonal sounds that transitioned almost effortlessly into a brand of fierce disco pop, leading to the release of 2018’s In a Poem Unlimited, which might be my favorite album of the 2010s. With her latest album, Scratch It, now available through 4AD, I seized the chance to discuss her alternate life in the film industry.

      It's worth mentioning that Remy is a touring musician, so our conversation took place over imperfect airport Wi-Fi with background noise, including a man behind her who inadvertently joined the conversation for a brief moment. Despite this, it was a delight to speak with her, and I hope it provides insight into the artistic passions of one of our noteworthy musicians.
