这一年来自加拿大蒙特利尔最火红的名字无疑是Grimes、现年二十三岁的女性唱作人Claire Boucher之化身;人们完全忽略了和Grimes同样发迹自蒙特利尔Arbutus的四人乐队TOPS。在正式进军4AD以前,Grimes和TOPS、Blue Hawaii皆是Arbutus旗下出色、也充满异色的音乐代表;尤其是TOPS,其梦幻、复古乃至80电影Murph & The Magic Tones的音乐质感,和奥斯汀女子双人组Boy Friend简直有异曲同工之妙。
TOPS is a Montreal based four-piece. Having played in multiple groups in Montreal, they are a band entrenched in the local community.
