U.S. Girls is the stage name of Meg Remy, whose latest release is the score for the film Dead Lover. This is its central theme.

The word ‘Lynchian’ seems to have become a bit of a cliche to describe a certain sense of narcotic noir that conjures thoughts of the chanteuse in The Slow Club in Blue Velvet.

Glamorous, romantic and eerie in equal measure, it’s exactly the vibe conveyed in this song by U.S. Girls, aka experimental musician Meg Remy.

The synth-heavy, theremin-inclined country-tinged waltz was co-written by the Toronto-based Meg Remy for the score of a new horror-comedy film, Dead Lover.

U.S. Girls is essentially Remy, though she performs with a Nashville-based touring band that includes her co-writer here, Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs.

Dead Lover follows a lonely gravedigger who goes to morbid lengths to reanimate her dead lover through madcap scientific experiments, resulting in grave consequences (pun intended) and unlikely love.
