We were introduced to Toronto duo Amanda Crist + Carlyn Bezic aka Ice Cream by Meg Remy of U.S. Girls when she took over this very site recently -- Bezic and Crist play in Darlene Shrugg with Remy, and Crist's voice can be heard on U.S. Girls' brilliant new record In a Poem Unlimited -- and we were immediately taken by the group's bizarre and highly infectious warped pop jams...

I’m going to end my take over on a side note: At the same time In a Poem Unlimited was in production, Darlene Shrugg (a rock band featuring myself and Poem vets Maximilian Turnbull & Amanda Crist as well as Simone Tisshaw-Baril & Carlyn Bezic) also made an album...

One of my favorite things about In a Poem Unlimited is the variety of voices on it. Here is a song from each of the singers who contributed to the album. Each of these special people have many years of experience and plenty of releases behind (and ahead) of them. Use your preferred search engine and go down a rabbit hole! -- Meg Remy / U.S. Girls
