Montréal band TOPS have announced their signing to Ghostly International and have accompanied the news with the release of single, "ICU2".
Their signing to Ghostly marks the start of a new chapter and their first new music since 2022’s self-released, Empty Seats EP.
The new single was sprung from a playful exchange between Jane Penny and Marta Cikojevic. Beneath the grooves, the hide-and-seek club scene hints at a hall of mirrors, "almost like a caper, fantastical, like you've been caught searching for something in the dark," says Penny, citing the art house psychedelia of the party scene in Midnight Cowboy (1969).
"ICU2" is out now via Ghostly International.
