TOPS Announce New Album, Share Lead Single and Unveil 2025 Tour Dates

 

Canadian indie rock band TOPS have announced a new album. The record Bury the Key will be released on August 22; It’s the group’s first full-length release since signing to Ghostly International. Today they’ve shared a music video for “Chlorine,” the LP’s lead single. TOPS will also go on a world tour later in 2025. Scroll down for all tour dates and to watch their latest music video.

“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,” said TOPS singer Jane Penny. “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.'”
