"Released in 2020, I Feel Alive marks a shimmering return for Montreal indie-pop band, TOPS, blending their signature soft-focus synths, bright guitar lines, and Jane Penny’s emotionally direct vocals into their most vibrant work yet. The album balances glossy pop warmth with introspective lyricism, exploring themes of desire, transformation, and self-realization. With a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, I Feel Alive captures the band at a new creative peak—lush, intimate, and effortlessly cool, reaffirming TOPS as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary dream-pop.
"Throughout, the tunes are as softly, strongly gorgeous as the dreamboats Penny seems to be batting her eyes at or crying over Polaroids of. Tops are now up there with Phoenix as the masters of modern soft rock." - The Guardian
"TOPS have found their calling with their most crisp album to date. Packed with glistening melodies, squeaky clean vintage pop and yearning lyrics, the Montreal quartet are not holding back." - Clash
