TOPS — musicians David Carriere, Jane Penny, Marta Cikojevic, and Riley Fleck —
write timeless music that reliably threads immediacy and depth. Bury the Key,
their first full-length since 2020 and with new label home Ghostly International, is
a captivating reintroduction for the Montréal band: ever refined, undoubtedly
masters of their melodic craft yet unafraid of evolving and testing themselves
against different, at times darker tones. The album faces feelings once locked
away, engaging the give-and-take between happiness, hedonism, and self-
destruction. While often inhabited by fictional figures, their glowing, grooving,
self-produced songs draw from personal observations: intimacy (both inside and
outside the band), toxic behavior, drug use, and apocalyptic dread. When
recording started, they noticed a shift and leaned in, jokingly dubbed "evil TOPS,"
says Penny. "We're always kind of seen as a soft band or like naive or friendly in a
Canadian way, but we made it a challenge to really channel the world around us."
Through the lens of a looming epoch and the clarity that comes with age, TOPS
dip into a more sinister disco realm with Bury the Key, giving their soft-focus
sophisti-pop a sharpened edge.
TOPS has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to Chez Doris and their work supporting and empowering any woman in precarious situations to achieve her full potential.
