It's almost impossible to start a band these days, and even harder to actually make good music once you've done it. Swedish quartet Girl Scout are happy to defy these odds. After throwing down the gauntlet with their warmly received debut 'Real Life Human Garbage', the band has been compared to everyone from The Breeders to Snail Mail, while also showing a musical finesse that often surpasses them in crisp high definition. NME, DORK, Under The Radar and more have tipped them as bands to watch in 2023, others predicting them the same success as Wet Leg.
Newspapers such as Clash, The Times, The Guardian, Gaffa, Atwood, Billboard and more have praised the band as one of the most innovative and energetic newcomers right now.
Girl Scout faces the apocalypse with her highly anticipated debut album “Brink,” due in March. “Brink” is more than just a collection of songs—it’s a response to a cultural moment caught between apocalyptic anxiety and yearning escapism.
Throughout the album, the internationally acclaimed Stockholm trio stretches their signature indie rock and transforms it into something bolder, deeper and more uninhibited.
The lyrics grapple with doubt but glow with nostalgia at the same time; “It’s a kind of self-medication against the world,” says singer and guitarist Emma Jansson. The feeling of standing on the edge permeates the album on several levels. See them at Mejeriet on April 22!
