Montréal band TOPS announce new album Bury the Key, out 22 August on Ghostly International. Alongside announcing their new album, TOPS shares new single ‘Chlorine’.
Bury the Key is TOPS’ first full-length since 2020 and is the reintroduction of this iconic group. Jane Penny, David Carriere, Marta Cikojevic and Riley Fleck explore darker tones and experiment on their upcoming album.
Jane Penny shares the following about ‘Chlorine’:
“At one point I was caught in a cycle of going out to the bar hoping that I would cross paths with a certain person who was not good for me but who I felt irresistibly drawn to. I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, where it’s very cold and I used to go to the pool a lot in the winter. It’s also where I first started going to bars to drink with my friends. I was thinking about alcohol and chlorine both being poison, thinking about all the people that I’ve tried to be close to that have ended up being bad for me, how I still love them all, and I wrote the song ‘Chlorine’.”
