Girl Scout today has returnedwith the release of their new single “Operator,” the track is off their forthcoming album Brink, out in 2026 via AWAL.  The Swedish band’s 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?”

Following a release of EPs, tour with Alvvays, the Stockholm-based trio’s debut album Brink will drop on on March 20th, 2026 via AWAL. The band worked Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Angel Olsen, Snail Mail) to mix the record.
