Half Free<\/em> is Meghan\u00a0Remy<\/em>\u2019s first album for 4AD and is her most realized yet, focusing on characters in everyday struggles, with narratives inspired by the work of director John Cassavetes<\/em> and Bruce Springsteen<\/em>. Throughout, Remy explores themes relating to abuse and gender inequality, whether the broken wife in \u2018Sororal Feelings\u2019 (a track loosely based on the character Nora Bass in Michael Ondaatje\u2019s Coming Through Slaughter<\/em>), or the exasperated war widow in \u2018Damn That Valley\u2019, soundtracked by its intoxicating combination of thick dub flavors and Wall of Sound dramatics.<\/p>\n

U.S. Girls<\/strong> is Illinois-born, Toronto-based artist Meghan Remy<\/em>, who releases her new album “Half Free”<\/em> on September 25th via 4AD.<\/h3>\n[separator type=”space”]\n
