TOPS have returned with a new video for "Topless," with the Montreal band shining a light back on their 2017 album Sugar at the Gate.

As you'll witness, the video stars TOPS singer Jane Penny, who travels around Berlin at dusk.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the video, Penny had this to say:

I really wanted to make a video for our song "Topless." It took a little longer than I anticipated (ehem, about a year longer) but it's finally here for you. I ended up going for a walk in the neighbourhood where I've been living in Berlin, at dusk, and over several days we caught the nicest lighting we could find and some very strange bunnies on display at the local mall. There's a romantic greyness to Berlin when the leaves are gone, I think the moodiness of the city at the end of winter compliments the song, and my mood that day, quite well. It's getting harder to remember that feeling now that the leaves are out and the sun is shining, it's nice to have this remind me.
