[Last week], Swedish band Girl Scout announced their debut album Brink, out in March, with the bright indie-pop single “Same Kids.” If you’re an Alvvays fan then this will definitely be worth checking out. Their first album, which comes after a trilogy of EPs, was worked on with Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Snail Mail) and stands as a checkpoint at the edge of the unknown.

“Same Kids” previews that beaming anticipation, haloed in captivating, youthful energy. It’s animated by crystalline nostalgia, grinning synths, and punchy guitar chords. The lyrics capture the restless anxiety that comes with growing up that doesn’t necessarily go away as the years pass: “When we’re too loud/ Lock the door/ Oh to be young and to be bored.” What a great fucking line. Bored is a luxury we don’t value anymore. -Stereogum
