Album Notes & Community Reviews

Backed by the live instrumentation of Toronto's Cosmic Range ensemble, 'In a Poem Unlimited' pivots U.S. Girls toward a richly produced and accessible art-pop sound that replaces prior sample-based work with organic grooves. The album's vibrant fusion of disco, funk, and psychedelic pop creates a deliberately stark contrast with Meghan Remy's incisive, politically charged songwriting, which delivers feminist critiques on abuse of power, violence, and environmental concerns.
