Tops - I Feel Alive

The Guardian 80

(Musique Tops)
Sophisticated production, nostalgic synths and gorgeous tunes … the Montreal band’s fourth LP features their strongest songs yet

Music critics will often complain about how someone has got stuck in a rut and failed to progress their sound, but then reserve the right for certain artists to stick to one aesthetic and keep making more or less the same album over and over again. Annoyingly inconsistent, but there you have it.

At their best, this Montreal quartet locate the aching sincerity in pop clichés.
