Ces trois albums ont \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 nomin\u00e9s aux Juno du meilleur album alternatif.
Meg Remy a effectu\u00e9 de nombreuses tourn\u00e9es en Europe et en Am\u00e9rique du Nord, se forgeant une r\u00e9putation pour ses commentaires politiques perspicaces et ses performances th\u00e9\u00e2trales avec son groupe U.S. Girls, ce qui lui a valu d\u2019\u00eatre nomm\u00e9e meilleure artiste live de 2018 par le magazine Paste. Durant cette p\u00e9riode, elle a maintenu une pratique artistique visuelle, expos\u00e9 des collages et r\u00e9alis\u00e9 plusieurs vid\u00e9oclips et autres \u0153uvres d\u2019art vid\u00e9o, dont son court m\u00e9trage Woman\u2019s Advocate (2014), dans lequel elle a \u00e9galement jou\u00e9.

Originally from Illinois, Meg Remy is established as one of the most acclaimed songwriters and performers to emerge from Toronto\u2019s eclectic underground music scene where she currently lives. As the creative force behind the musical entity U.S. Girls, her celebrated discography spans 15 years from early experimental works released on the Siltbreeze label and includes three Polaris Prize shortlisted albums on 4AD: Half Free (2015), In A Poem Unlimited (2018), and Heavy Light (2020). All three albums also garnered Juno nominations for Best Alternative Album.
Remy has toured extensively through Europe and North America, establishing a reputation for politically astute commentary and theatrical performances with her extended U.S. Girls band, leading her to be named the best live act of 2018 by Paste Magazine. During this time, she has maintained a visual arts practice, exhibited collage work and directed several music videos and other video art works including her short film Woman\u2019s Advocate (2014), in which she also performed. Recently, Remy published her first book, a memoir called Begin By Telling (2021), and she also made her first foray into film-scoring this year, having been tapped for filmmaker (and fellow Torontonian) Grace Glowicki\u2019s surreal horror-comedy Dead Lover (which world-premiered at Sundance Film Festival and featured at SXSW). As a platform and persona, U.S. Girls operates on a uniquely out-of-time wavelength, alternately wronged and rueful, classic but contemporary, bruised vignettes of poetic Americana through a feminist lens. Her most recent album, Bless This Mess (2023), marked both a divergence from and deepening of Remy\u2019s songbook, more at peace with her restless truths and moods. New music is set to follow in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
