Tops are a four-piece band from Montreal, equal parts girls and guys, delivering a raw punk take on AM studio pop. Their new record, Picture You Staring, is a rich array of timelessly crafted songs. Singer Jane Penny gives a new voice to the silent girl at the edge of the circle, disillusioned but honest and unpretentious, a tone complemented by David Carriere's seamless guitar playing and the measured drumming of Riley Fleck. Tops' subtle arrangements are delivered with a cool restraint that blend with the individuality and self-assured desire of their female lead. Picture You Staring gathers strength through intimacy. Self-written, recorded and produced at Arbutus Records' studio in Montreal over the course of a year, this album contains 12 impeccable examples of pop craftsmanship that will reward repeat listeners. Album Tracks 1. Way to Be Loved 2. Blind Faze 3. Circle the Dark 4. Outside 5. All the People Sleep 6. Sleeptalker 7. Superstition Future 8. 2 Shy 9. Change of Heart 10. Easier Said 11. Driverless Passenger 12. Destination

Released in 2020, I Feel Alive marks a shimmering return for Montreal indie-pop band Tops, blending their signature soft-focus synths, bright guitar lines, and Jane Penny's emotionally direct vocals into their most vibrant work yet.

With a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, I Feel Alive captures the band at a new creative peak-rich, intimate, and effortlessly cool, reaffirming Tops as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary dream-pop.
