Montréal band TOPS release Bury the Key, their first full-length since 2020 and with new label home Ghostly International.

Jane Penny, David Carriere, Marta Cikojevic and Riley Fleck embrace a darker tone, transforming into “evil TOPS” on Bury the Key.

“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.”

Jane Penny

Bury the Key explores happiness, hedonism, and self-destruction while navigating adulthood. With a dark disco vibe that flows within each self-produced song, TOPS enter a new era with their best album to date.
