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.
Montreal's SHUNK seamlessly blends a myriad of musical influences (Post-Punk, Dreampop, Shoegaze, Indie Pop, Opera) to form their own specific sonic palette. Their eccentric and electrifying live performances reflect their city's ever-evolving, boundary-pushing music scene. Vocalist Gabrielle Domingue is able to embody multiple personas physically and vocally, singing opera one minute and yelling in borderline hardcore moments the next. This is all grounded by a honed rhythm section consisting of Adrian Vaktor and Julia Hill, and shimmering, synth inspired guitar parts from Peter Baylis.
