Bury the Key,their first full-length since 2020 and with new label home Ghostly International, isa captivating reintroduction for the Montral band: ever refined, undoubtedlymasters of their melodic craft yet unafraid of evolving and testing themselvesagainst different, at times darker tones. The album faces feelings once lockedaway, 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 andoutside the band), toxic behavior, drug use, and apocalyptic dread. Whenrecording started, they noticed a shift and leaned in, jokingly dubbed evil TOPS,says Penny. Were always kind of seen as a soft band or like naive or friendly in aCanadian 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, TOPSdip into a more sinister disco realm with Bury the Key, giving their soft-focussophisti-pop a sharpened edge.
