Affiliates of Montréal's Arbutus Records (home of Tonstartssbandht and Grimes), TOPS make sleek, funky new wave topped off by Jane Penny's airy cooing. The ballad "Evening" opens last year's début album Tender Opposites with gentle spirals of keyboard chords that call to mind Stereolab. The new video looks like an outdated instructional VHS -- or maybe Laserdisc? -- with random shapes and landscapes floating across a blue background.
