Swedish four-piece Girl Scout are back, and they’re bringing the bittersweet with their new single ‘Honey’, the second release from their upcoming five-track EP, Headache, set to drop on November 8th. The single comes hot on the heels of their debut track ‘I Just Needed You To Know’. Girl Scout are making it clear: they’re not just another indie band; they’re one of the most exciting groups in the game right now.

‘Honey’ finds the band in top form. It kicks off with a jangly guitar line straight out of the 2010s indie playbook, the kind that would feel right at home on a Vampire Weekend or Alvvays record. But as soon as singer Emma Jansson’s vocals come soaring through the mix, it’s all Girl Scout. Jansson’s voice has that irresistibly expressive quality that turns every word into a gut punch, perfectly complementing the song’s deep dive into the emotional complexities of friendships falling apart.

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.
