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 lush 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.
