I once saw Earthgang open for Billie Eilish in a small theatre with about a thousand teenagers looking at their phones. We were so happy then! Simpler times. “Top Down” is an unapologetically happy summer jam about driving around with the warm sun on your face and the latest airborne virus blowing through your hair. The video is a puppet show with a foot fetish joke, a visit to the “Topz Down” strip club, a car chase by the police and an underwater smoking session with mermaids.
Also: this is a great lyric by Doctor Dot:
“She said, "I see you, I know you been workin', lil' daddy / You look like you gettin' to the check / I know you focused on work / But I can't help but notice you can't talk about nothin' else / What about you? / How's your mental? / How do you cope with what you been through? / How's your tempo? / Who in your life are you really close to?" / I was like, "Damn," space left blank.”
