Swedish band Girl Scout has officially announced their debut full-length album Brink, arriving on March 20, 2026 via AWAL. Following a trilogy of introductory EPs, a buzzed-about tour with Alvvays, and a mountain of global acclaim since they first emerged in 2022, the Stockholm-based trio teamed up with Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Snail Mail) for their first-ever full-length record. A sun-drenched prism of Girl Scout’s guitar-driven indie rock, Brink refracts with a new glow from each song to the next.
Alongside Brink’s announcement, the three-piece has premiered their new single ‘Same Kids’. Serving as the first taste of the record, it’s a soaring track inspired by the question of what adolescence would have been like if you could have shared it with the friends you find later in life.
“I spent a big part of my early childhood outside of Sweden (Japan, the US, Germany),” adds Emma about the song. “When I was twelve, my family finally settled in a small town back home. It wasn’t until a few years later that I met people who truly liked the same things I did. For the first time I really felt understood; like the world opened up once I found people who listened to the same music and were drawn to the same weird niche things. When I met Kevin and learned he spent much of his childhood in Canada before settling in Sweden, we realized we share a lot of oddly specific childhood memories. It reminded me of that moment I first found like-minded people, and made me reflect on what it might have been like to know these people earlier in life. How much that would have meant. That same feeling is the inspiration behind “Same Kids” and a big reason this band exists in the first place: to form your own little circle with its own secret language and ideals around it.”
