Edition of 100 copies cassette w/silkscreened sleeve and packaged in the quality we’ve already come to expect from Ayal Senior’s great Medusa imprint. This tape compiles a buncha OOP spectral Americana from Megan Remy aka US Girls, with eight tracks that collect the early 7"s and the cassingle U.S. Girls released in 2008-2009 on Cherry Burger Records, Hardscrabble Amateurs and Not Not Fun. 

Fantastic new studio album from Megan Remy aka US Girls. Remy’s marriage of classic 50s/60s girl group sounds, apocalyptic night-time USA stylings and occult pop ala Kenneth Anger/David Lynch/Bruce Conner is massively infectious and On Kraak floats the whole deal out into the kind of phantom radio waves that would combine the ghost of Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream” with after-images of minimal drum machine/F/X for a great set of dark psychedelic pop. Remy’s song-writing is at a peak here and the way its set within distant starfields of reverb and repeat drones is supremely seductive. And while I’ve had it up to about here with the embracing of vacuous mainstream pop moves by underground heads when she drops a massively dosed version of Brandy & Monica’s “The Boy Us Mine”, well, it kind of makes perfect sense. Remy’s best yet? Highly recommended.
