U.S. Girls have announced that they will return with their new album Heavy Light on March 6th via 4AD. This is the Meg Remy-led project’s first album since their critically acclaimed 2018 album In a Poem Unlimited.
The album sees Remy looking inward, “recounting personal narratives to create a deeply introspective about-face. The songs are an inquest into the melancholy flavor of hindsight, both personal and cultural.”
This is felt on three previously released songs that have been re-worked for the album (“Statehouse (It’s A Man’s World)”, “Red Ford Radio”, and “Overtime”).
“Overtime” has been released as the first single that is given a bit of a new boost with the new sound and evolution of the current day incarnation of U.S. Girls and like many songs on the album features E Street Band saxophonist Jake Clemons. It’s release includes a new music video that was directed, filmed, and edited by Remy.
Find the video for “Overtime” below, along with the album’s art, tracklisting and their upcoming tour dates.
