February 12, 2020 TOPS – Witching Hour

TOPS share another one from their forthcoming new LP, I Feel Alive, the sparking yet scathing chimera of feminine reprisal, “Witching Hour.” The band’s Jane Penny said this about the song:

“Witching Hour is a song about reckoning. David wrote the chorus of the song, and when he showed it to me I gravitated towards the idea of a witching hour as a time of night for unconscious thoughts and uncomfortable visions. The pressure to be feminine has twisted my experience of my own sensuality in this nightmarish way, and I wanted to articulate that by conjuring the nefarious ways that trauma emerges in dreams. There’s a sense of reprisal in witchcraft, of retribution as a means of expression, and I wanted to explore that side of feminine power”

I Feel Alive is out in April on the group’s own MUSIQUE TOPS label.
