U.S. Girls + Earth Jerks

U.S. GIRLS (Avant-Garde, Psychedelic Noise/US)
U.S. Girls is the creative force of a lone American woman, Meghan Remy. For the past four years she has pursued her minimalist aesthetic with a militant by-any-means-necessary attitude, merging experimental compositions tracked on borrowed four track recorders with her distinctive photocopy-art visual aesthetic.

Her influence has unwaveringly been declared to lie with oldies radio and the distinctly American songcraft of writers like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen (whom she covered to startling effect on Introducing…). It’s in this light that her true vision is revealed. While her music has been said to evoke “particularly blunted Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry remixes of Cambodian Rocks covers of western pop tunes,” – (Artforum), more accurately she can be thought of as an unapologetically modern pop revisionist merging the audible artistic honesty of her beloved soul music with lyrical strains of static and tape hiss.

Fresh from playing a series of dates in the U.S. and back to recording for a full-length, the release of 12PALM01 marks the start of an exciting new future for U.S. Girls.

EARTH JERKS (Electronic Surf Drone/US)
Earth Jerks are a bunch of gadgets designed and built by very smart people and the former drummer of "Death Sentence: PANDA!", who is responsible for flipping their switches. Delay, filtration, modulation and more delay; drone music for fuzzed-out, mop-topped scooter-punks. Square wave, saw tooth hugs; more than enough to go around. Hey man, you dig the Electric Prunes, Brian Jones and other way cool cats who wear sunglasses?
Of course you do.
