Girl Scout are returning with one of the fall’s most highly anticipated EP’s, Granny Music, is due September 27th via Made Records. This is a band who can do no wrong, after they recently dropped “Monster,” they continue to deliver stellar song after song, each as ear wormy as the next.

Now that streak continues with the new single “Boy In Blue.” The second song off of the bands upcoming sophomore EP combines a dry guitar riff with a sparkling top line and a chorus fit for singing along.

Vocalist Emma Jansson tells us “‘’Boy in Blue’ embodies the feeling of being stuck in a relationship. It’s about growing apart and realizing you are completely different people that really don’t have much in common other than your infatuation with each other, and losing your own sense of self during that relationship. It is truly heartbreaking coming to that realization.”

On their sophomore EP, Granny Music, the Swedes explore more musical realms: “There’s some heartland sounding stuff going on, and there’s a power-ballad,” the band muses. “And then of course we have a couple rockers in there, too. We wanted to explore some new ground without abandoning the foundation we built with the first EP.” Granny Music, like Real Life Human Garbage, was produced by Ali Chant; it features more edge, a rougher tone, and an overall even more ambitious interpretation of the Girl Scout sound. 

​Lyrically, the new songs move away from the nostalgic yearning and anxiousness of the debut: “There’s a lot of divulging into childhood memories, family dynamics and romantic relationships, and more personal stories embedded throughout. The dynamic spectrum of Granny Music is wider; there are both softer and heavier songs on this EP.”
