Recently the Montreal-based band TOPS unveiled the music video for “Annihilation,” the fourth single from their upcoming album Bury the Key, out August 22, 2025 via Ghostly International.
“Annihilation” is a groovy burst of ’80s-inspired synth-pop, brimming with retro drum machines, shimmering keys, and Jane Penny’s unmistakable vocals.
It’s a track that radiates motion — stylish and euphoric — tailor-made for dancing in the dark or cruising through neon-lit streets.
With a strong melodic hook and sleek production, TOPS continues to refine their nostalgic pop sound while keeping it fresh and emotionally charged.
About the track by TOPS:
“It’s easy to fear the future but in the end nothing is ever finished and you just gotta follow your heart,”
“It’s like a mix of complacency and surrendering. As we were working on it a lot of cultural ‘greats’ were passing away.
People like Sinead O’Connor and Ryuichi Sakamoto have been incredibly influential on our music and it’s sad to think that they’re on their way to being forgotten.
We added a part that’s meant to be a wink to ‘Behind The Mask’ by YMO.”
