TOPS have been making perfectly pleasant pop music for nearly fifteen years. The Montreal-based band blends synth and disco grooves with indie sensibilities to create universally approachable songs.

On their fifth studio album Bury The Key, the band embraces darker characteristics and heavier tones. Still complete with unmatched melodies, the 12-song collection navigates topics like drug use, toxicity and existential dread, pushing the band to new sonic bounds.

Watch TOPS perform “Wheels at Night,” “Call You Back” and “Chlorine” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
