Canadian alt-pop greats TOPS announce their new album Bury The Key with it's spiked new single 'Chlorine'. Keen to disband their public perception, vocalist Jane Penny explains: “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.” Opening to an ominous drone and an even spookier piano plonk, the tension lifts as Penny's catchy top-lines enter the fold. Lyrically darker than what we've come to expect, she continues: “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.'” Playfully referred to as TOPS' "evil album", Bury The Key will arrive on the 22nd of August via their new home Ghostly International. -Holly Mullineaux
