Fact #160438

U.S. Girls is actually one woman, Meg Remy, working with various collaborators to create captivatingly quirky pop to which you can, if you feel so inclined, dance. Pigeon-holing this exceptionally-gifted woman is tricky, because she mixes musical genres with merry abandon while somehow creating a coherent whole. M.A.H. (Mad As Hell) starts with a Spectorish drum lick but transforms quickly into an early 80s disco gallop which effectively obscure its protest lyric, while Rosebud opens on a jaunty string riff before becoming a faintly Latin slow groove overlaid with breathless Diana Ross-style vocals. Remy rarely fails to spike her pop facades with angry lyrics attacking religion, politics and human folly of all kinds.
