Swedish four-piece alt band Girl Scout are back with their brand new single “Honey,” a mammoth power-pop tune that the group has been teasing on-stage recently.
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.”
Their new single comes with the announcement of their third EP Headache. The new five-track project – their first since the band’s debut & 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 8th, 2024.
“Headache is AAAAAAAAH!!!!!!,” adds Emma about the full project. “THAT feeling. Straight-up hate and frustration. Feeling hurt and feeling funny about people. Feeling funny about life as a whole. Consider our gears ground. (But in a funny way).”
“Honey” marks the second single off of Headache – having been preceded by the ‘90s-alt-rock-inspired “I Just Needed You To Know.” The band will take songs from the upcoming EP on the road once again in early 2025, today announcing a new run of ten UK dates for February.
