Swedish band Girl Scout is back with the release of their latest single ‘Operator,’ the second preview of their forthcoming full-length album Brink. Scuzzy in sound and cheeky in nature, the track lands somewhere between power-pop ripper and fictionalized meet-cute as it ponders the questions: what if operators were still around? and what if they sounded hot on the other end of the line?

“It’s really just a dumb song, isn’t it?” adds Girl Scout’s Emma Jansson about the track. “A dumb guitar riff, dumb lyrics and a dumb beat, and we love it just the way it is. I have no idea where the inspiration behind the lyrics came from, I have no relationship to switchboard operators and they haven’t been around since before I was born. But wouldn’t it be fun if they were still around and they sounded really hot over the phone?”
