Today, Remy presents her sixth studio album ‘In A Poem Unlimited’. Remy’s second release for 4AD, which also includes ‘Mad As Hell’ – a clarion call for pacifism – was tracked in collaboration with Toronto-based instrumental collective The Cosmic Range and features arrangements by long-time contributors Maxmilian Turnball and Louis Percival. The dizzying buffet of live grooves on ‘In A Poem Unlimited’ represents an inversion of the dusty, sample-based minimal textures of ‘Half Free’, Remy’s euphoric 4AD debut. Steered into focus by Remy and mixer / co-producer Steve Chahley, ‘In A Poem Unlimited’ features disco employed as a protest vernacular (‘Mad As Hell’), as well as an unrelenting assault (‘Time’); moody, slow-burning funk (‘Velvet 4 Sale’ and ‘L-Over’) and earnest synth anthems ‘Rosebud’ and ‘Poem’, which form the album’s emotional core. ‘In A Poem Unlimited’ features dark meditations reflecting charged atmospheres that directly precede and follow acts of violence. Many of the songs are character studies of women grappling with power; how to gain and exert it spiritually, as well as desperate strategies to mitigate its infliction. Remy also rallies against the public lies told by political and religious leaders and, more crucially, questions the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive. While U.S. Girls, denoting the plural, is no longer a misnomer, ‘In A Poem Unlimited’ may be Remy’s most individually distilled protest to date. ‘In A Poem Unlimited’ album opener ‘Velvet 4 Sale’ concerns a female narrator imploring another to buy a gun for protection, impressing that the only way to change men is for women to use violence. Remy says, “Men are lucky women (and children) have yet to take up arms. And although I hope this never happens and I completely disagree that violence is ever effective, this very idea was ripe for a song.” Artist U.S. Girls Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label 4AD Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Velvet 4 Sale Rage Of Plastics Mad As Hell Why Do I Lose My Voice When I Have Something To Say Rosebud Incidental Boogie L-Over Pearly Gates Poem Traviata Time Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from U.S. Girls and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View U.S. Girls Bless This Mess Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th February 2023 £21.00 - £22.00 Select options U.S. Girls Bless This Mess £21.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View U.S. Girls Heavy Light Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th March 2020 £19.00 Select options U.S. Girls Heavy Light £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th March 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View U.S. Girls Half Free Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP Released 25th September 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders U.S. Girls Half Free £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: CAD3520 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mono Under The Pipal Tree Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Temporary Residence | 2LP Released 19th January 2024 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mono Under The Pipal Tree £34.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Temporary Residence SKU: TRR282LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 19th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kills, The Keep On Your Mean Side – 20th Anniversary Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Domino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th June 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kills, The Keep On Your Mean Side – 20th Anniversary £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP124X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnny Mafia Sentimental Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | HOWLIN BANANA RECORDS | 1LP Released 18th June 2021 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Mafia Sentimental £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: HOWLIN BANANA RECORDS SKU: HB80 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Pile In The Corners Of A Sphere-Filled Room Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Improved Sequence | 1LP Released 19th August 2022 £14.99 £21.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pile In The Corners Of A Sphere-Filled Room £14.99 £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Improved Sequence SKU: IMP047 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Robocobra Quartet Heaven Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | First Taste Records | 7", Single Released 25th March 2022 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robocobra Quartet Heaven £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: First Taste Records SKU: FTR001 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hole Live Through This Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th July 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hole Live Through This £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: UMC SKU: 4784967 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Soccer Mommy Collection Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fat Possum | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th August 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soccer Mommy Collection £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP16405 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Baby?
