SCRATCH IT

Toronto-based producer, film composer, and author Meg Remy announces a new U.S. Girls album,
Scratch It. In just ten days, Remy and the band - Dillon Watson on guitar, Jack Lawrence (The Dead
Weather, The Raconteurs, Loretta Lynn) on bass, Domo Donoho on drums, and both Jo Schornikow
and Tina Norwood on keys, as well as harmonica legend Charlie McCoy (Elvis, Bob Dylan, Roy
Orbison) - recorded Scratch It live off the floor with minimal overdubs, mixed to tape. Scratch It
weaves together country, gospel, garage rock, soul, disco, folk balladry, and more, with Remy's
masterful songwriting threaded throughout. Her choice to discard the computer-based production
of previous albums in favour of two-inch tape serves the songs well, introducing an element of sonic
shapeshifting expected from an artist nearly twenty years into making records. If instinct was an
instrument, Remy would be a virtuoso. Scratch It and see.
