Swedish four-piece Girl Scout are back with the announcement of their third EP Headache. The new five-track project – their first since the band’s debut and sophomore EPs Real Life Human Garbage and Granny Music last year – features production from Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Snail Mail) and will officially arrive on November 8.
The EP’s forthcoming release is previewed by Girl Scout’s brand new single ‘Honey,’ a mammoth power-pop tune that the group has been teasing on-stage recently; both on their summer tour with Alvvays and at their recent headline shows across the UK & Europe.
Lyrically, ‘Honey’ tackles the complex feelings of friendships falling apart, as lead singer Emma Jansson notes: “’Honey’ is about the bittersweet experience of close friends growing apart, heartache and the inevitability to keep everyone in your life at the same time. The lyrics delve into the complex emotions of frustration, concern, and helplessness while witnessing the imbalance of that relationship. It was originally written as an acoustic number, but we discovered that it was better suited as our interpretation of a 2010s indie rock song.”
