The Montreal babes known as TOPS are back! We loved their 2014 Arbutus LP release Picture You Staring and we’re digging their brand new single called “Anything.” Lead vocalist Jane Penny had the following to say about it:
Anything was difficult to write down. It’s the anguish you feel when everything you used to have confidence in is no longer there beside you. We went out a couple weeks ago, scoped out strangers bikes and shot the video that night. Sometimes there isn’t a difference between what you have, used to have, and what you don’t.
Check out the video above, which was shot by Tommy Keith with a Hi8 camera (oooooooo lo-fi v cool), above. TOPS are currently working on their third album and touring North America – peep all their tour dates below.
