TOPS: “Double Vision”.

21 Feb 2012 — Henning Lahmann
Had meant to write about this thing for a while but got held back for reasons that became obvious today, as the track's premiere was supposed to be part of Grimes' very cool GvB takeover a couple of hours ago. Anyway, now we know that Claire Boucher and I have at least one thing in common, and don't you say that this is totally insignificant, which is the fact that the wonderfully sultry late night seduction "Double Vision" is our favorite track from TOPS' overall incredible debut tape Tender Opposites, which is out now via Arbutus in North America and Atelier Ciseaux in Europe. If you've been an avid reader of this publication in the past months, then you already know that this band is rather exciting. In related news, Claire also just posted a new track of hers together with the great Majical Cloudz, called "Song for Ric", that is gonna be part of the Kickstarter compilation for Ad Hoc, the amazing site/magazine/project that you can (and should, pretty please) still support over here.
