U.S. Girls - Scratch It

When Meg Remy, the visionary behind U.S. Girls, got an offer to play at a festival in Hot Springs, Arkansas in early 2024, she enlisted Nashville-based friend Dillon Watson to assemble a one-time band for the occasion. The show went so well that she decided to ride that energy right back to where the impromptu band had initially rehearsed, in Music City itself, kickstarting the journey toward her new album, Scratch It.

In just ten days, Remy and her band: Watson on guitar, Jack Lawrence on bass, Domo Donoho on drums, and both Jo Schornikow and Tina Norwood on keys, as well as harmonica legend Charlie McCoy, recorded Scratch It live off the floor with minimal overdubs, mixed to tape.

Scratch It weaves together country, gospel, garage rock, soul, disco, folk balladry, and more, with Remy’s masterful songwriting threaded throughout. Her choice to discard the computer-based production of previous albums in favor of two-inch tape serves the songs well, introducing an element of sonic shapeshifting expected from an artist nearly twenty years into making records. If instinct was an instrument, Remy would be a virtuoso. Scratch It and see. 

This vinyl edition produced by Royal Mountain Records in 2025.
