Today U.S. Girls dropped the self-directed music video for Bless This Mess.
The second single is taken from the highly anticipated eighth album called Bless This Mess which comes out on February 24, 2023 via 4AD and Royal Mountain Records.
Did motherhood change her outlook in making music?
Bless This Mess has this retro pop ballad a-la early 90s Mariah Carey vibe.
About the track by Meg:
Remy explains “Before camera phones, the family camcorder was often the mirror tool used to capture selfie-like performances of teenage daydreams and insecurities. Recently I unearthed a VHS tape housing footage of my 1998 self singing on top of my favourite songs of the day, along with my 2000 self publicly performing music for the first time, plus various other blush-worthy self-portraits. I decided to air out this acutely personal footage. My meta music video vision: 1998 self singing a song that 2020 self wrote.”
Theartist Evan Gordon manually assembled this performance that never was. He explains his process: “I buckled down and painstakingly dragged the eight-minute clip over each word of the song, forwards and then backwards, splitting off any partial or direct match. Beyond my expectations, I was able to find multiple matches for each phrase. From here, I worked on stitching the clips together to make complete phrases, selecting from my list of matches much like making a comp of vocal takes.This video is a ‘real fake’. It’s naturally authentic while being transparently fake. Its intent is not to deceive or convince, but rather to induce reflection and remembrance.”
