U.S. Girls is the recording moniker of American-Canadian musician Meghan Remy.[2] Formed in the United States in 2007 as a noise-pop project, Remy later moved the band to Toronto after marrying Canadian musician Max "Slim Twig" Turnbull.[3]
She released music on a variety of independent labels in both the United States and Canada before signing to 4AD in 2015.[4] Her first record for that label, Half Free, was released the same year.[5]
Half Free garnered a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2016,[6] and was a shortlisted finalist for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize.[7]
