U.S. Girls (aka Meghan Remy) is releasing a new album, In a Poem Unlimited, on February 16 via 4AD. Previously she shared videos for “Velvet 4 Sale” and “Mad As Hell.” Now she has shared a video for “Pearly Gates,” which features James Baley. Chrissy Jones directed the clip, which you can watch below.

A press releases says that in the song “Remy describes a woman who wishes to seduce St. Peter to secure entry to the heavenly realm, with mixed results.”

Remy had this to say about the song in a press release: “Some years back a story was recounted to me about a man attempting to convince a woman to engage in unprotected sex by saying, ‘Don’t worry, I’m really good at pulling out.’ I thought this was a hilariously stupid thing to say and knew that one day I would build a song around this line.”

In a Poem Unlimited is U.S. Girls’ sixth album and the follow-up to 2015’s Half Free, also on 4AD. Read our 2015 interview with U.S. Girls.
