Jane Penny's voice feels like butter melting slowly over pancakes. So soft, so warm ♥

[@Jujubes666]

The most accurate comment so far

[@Crookudjaw]

Luvly! xx

[@Capgungoesbang]

TOPS hit the heart.

[@sabrinabosch2726]

Capgungoesbang Monster MONSCHTER TRAK

[@zapatillina]

the guitar of David is like magic

[@thismessismine]

I didn't get a chance to listen to TOPS a *lot* before getting the privilege to see them live and this takes me immediately back to that night. Their performance was also unforgettable.

[@andrewalbertson1]

Absolutely perfect guitar player. Not flashy solos just the smartest lil inversions and voicings. 10/10

[@EllieLarke]

Everyone needs to hear this music. It is SO good. One of the best albums of our age.

[@bradenleech2814]

I love trying to play to these songs on the guitar. Wonderful album with awesome lyrics!! Fan for life ever since I found Tender Opposites

[@OmegaPrimeChannel]

I come back here everytime, really good music. Love It.

[@awksee]

I not heard of this group until a show in America late in 2013, really digging the sound, really unique, beautiful compositions. want to always be hearing!!!! thank you for this album

[@didi34didi]

I always feel the twin peaks vibe from this album. Love it!

[@pinklightfever]

+didi34didi i use this exact expression when describing "anything" to people.

[@magicknight13]

Oooh I love that!!

[@DarkIronDwarf]

Going to see them in Chicago on October 27th. They'll be in Minneapolis the night before, I wish I could go to that show too. This album grabbed me the first time I heard it...several hundred listens later and it hasn't gotten old. Timeless and awesome!

[@CrackheadOwen]

the guitar is amazing

[@julianbrooks9985]

Tops has been my whole summers, my savior and my blanket that brings me to happy memories

[@magicknight13]

Love this band, love the cover art, love everything about this 🧡

[@rio985]

I really really like this band, and this album. I first heard "Outside" and the video is one of the best I've ever seen which is good because the song is outstanding. This is a beautifully crafted record and I love Jane Penny's voice.

[@9deagua]

+Alejandro Becerra yes it sounds really nic

[@toadbross736]

17:28 what an amazing tempo change!

[@nopey]

saw this band in sf when they played at the cal academy of sciences a couple weeks ago. we saw some penguins and walked around the museum. i love this album and i never thought i would ever meet these guys but jane and david are rad and super chill to hang out with

[@robyourtime]

Gorgeous lush pop. Miles above the more "successful" music being released these days

[@gabzpot]

The release of the year, in my opinion. ;)

[@cyclicthings7452]

I second that. This album should at least get nominated for something visible in the music world, but probably will not.

[@gabzpot]

So sad, but happy to hear this album every single day. haha

[@damiaorodrigues2680]

"Outside" sounds so cool! If Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares to You" and Berlin's "Take my Breath Away" had a daughter, that's what it would sound like...

[@lucasoaks4521]

I still love this album so much

[@ECDmockingjayTube]

Ah they're playing in Toronto at the Horseshoe Tavern October 30th for only 13$. Sadly it's 19 and up so I can't go... but just a heads up to anyone else interested.

[@habsalltheway123]

+Ellen Dunn Saw them in Montreal on the 31st! Great show!

[@jacksonhudgins]

+Ellen D thanks!

[@rylanrumbaugh1013]

+Ellen D hey man i know this comment was a long time ago but my girlfriend and i go to a bunch of concerts that are 18 and up and shes only 17, we just use her sisters id which honestly looks nothing like her, so in the future you should try to find a friends id that is 19 because they dont even look at the picture.

[@geraardbuyck2587]

they play a good live show as well! check them out live if you can. Especially enjoyable when you get to see them in a living room kind of setting, with maybe 50 people there, like I did. Just great!

[@amgtv3487]

I listen to this religiously. This deff deserves 1 mill views!

[@itssosarahh]

this album feels like...like you're just about to take a hot bath, or a shower, and you're sitting naked on the edge of the tub looking out the window while the steam keeps you warm.

[@JoseDiaz-gy6hx]

uhnm ok?

[@itssosarahh]

Good input buddy

[@JoseDiaz-gy6hx]

thanks! i mean... the first time i listed to this album i felt all the traks so familiar, so i know how you feel... well sort of

[@airyshaggy83]

+Jose Diego Diaz Cardenas I know what you mean. "uhnm, ok?" was something I could relate to a hell of a lot more than bath time procrastination.

[@RethoricalWanker]

[@itssitcomstupid]

my favorite vinyl. the only clear coloured one i own honestly. a beautiful record based on content and physical means...just gorgeous.

[@xavierdolganmcives9203]

This exquisite joy when one of your favorite artists releasing another mindblowing album :)

[@michaelmaggiore1781]

Absolutely love this album.

[@adityakuttus]

I don't see any comments about the drummer but Riley Fleck deserves way more appreciation for his work on this album

[@erickescobar4824]

Cool guy too! High af thought I was going to the restroom, but it was like the band chill area. I didn’t know it at the time but dude with a mustache pointed me in the right direction; sure enough later I find out it was the drummer.

[@BayAreaSkates]

I saw TOPS open for King Krule last year. I've been in love ever since.

[@samtully6949]

Seriously?? What a show!!!!!

[@126theman]

I drove to a new place, hours away in the mountains. I didn’t expect the journey to be so long and stressful but this album lightened my mental load greatly❤

[@nicholaslindenmeyer6472]

This whole album is solid gold but (all the people sleep) is the best written one in my opinion. It brings back memories to a life ive never lived.

[@rockandrollstrokes]

man, this album is like a saturday night, so beautiful man, Destination is the best song evá, in love with this

[@softteu]

Esse disco é uma obra de arte.

[@panelitaaa9041]

[@loosemotion9]

This is great! :)

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

the understated brilliance of this album can't be overstated ;) the interplay between the instrument lines and the vocal melodies is very sophisticated, in its completely unique way, and the overall effect they generate collectively speaks to a pronounced musical wisdom far beyond their years… I can't wait for a follow up already!!! cheers charliewired

[@Pretoserio]

[@fla__pe]

I wish I could share this on facebook, so more people would be as in love as I am.

[@IBMboy]

yeah I don't know why Facebook also blocked me from sharing

[@sickdawg22]

"Easier Said" is the sexiest song I've heard in ages. Anyone able to figure out the chords?

[@levyfreitas8327]

TOP

[@JaviEveryRock]

blind faze :3 (Y) ..... soo fucking good

[@Gloriasaysimadino]

The opening to blind faze reminds me of a song from clannad!:O

[@arnoldjoseph1122]

If only they sold it on amazon Canada! They're a band from Montreal for god's sakes! I was sadly forced to resort to the Apple store.

[@simu_lacra]

I'm guessing you could buy it off the Arbutus records site.

[@JaviEveryRock]
