“The Top” is the third single from the upcoming album Before My Mind Wakes Up (Epicuro Records, May 2026), released on 25 March 2026. The single was previewed at an exclusive live screening at Bio Aspen in Aspudden, Stockholm, in collaboration with Sensus.
The band describes the song as being about “distrust and disappointment in modern life” — restrained and introspective, yet fuzzed-out and contemplative.

“The Top is the third single from Before My Mind Wakes Up — indie sad-pop at its most sublime. Fuzzed-out and contemplative in the style of Pavement or Dinosaur Jr, restrained and introspective.”

“A fantastically weird bit of cinema — ‘No damn dogs allowed at the line dance tonight’ is an all-time great lyric. There’s an album on the way, but no details as yet. Watch this space.”
