Swedish indie-poppers Girl Scout made their name with a series of EPs, and now they’re getting ready to release Brink<\/em>, the full-length debut that they recorded with Wednesday\/Snail Mail collaborator Alex Farrar. We’ve already posted lead “Same Kids<\/a>,” and now they’ve shared the new song “Operator.” The track doesn’t have anything to do with the White Stripes’ “Hello Operator” except that they’re both catchy, riffy, fired-up garage rock tracks about telephone operators. I like the boop-beep noises. <\/p>\n Here’s what Girl Scout leader Emma Jansson says about “Operator”:<\/p>\n It\u2019s really just a dumb song, isn\u2019t it? 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\u2019t been around since before I was born. But wouldn\u2019t it be fun if they were still around and they sounded really hot over the phone?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It sure would! More bands should shoot for “dumb on purpose.” Hear “Operator” below.<\/p>\n\n
