TOPS | Bury the Key Tour

präsentiert von ByteFM und MusikBlog

:: ::

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.
