TOPS - Empty Seats TOPS

A companion to the 2020 album I Feel Alive, the long sold-out Empty Seats is a fan favorite release, containing some of the band’s most pointed and effervescent material, drawing comparisons to bands like The Whitest Boy Alive and Men I Trust. As the bio says, with a heart firmly attached to their sleeves, their song-craft delves into the emotional intricacy of personal relationships, asking questions about power and desire. Riley Fleck’s measured drumming and David Carriere’s trademark guitar licks mesh with Marta Cikojevic’s lush keyboards. All these elements work in tandem and in service of Jane Penny’s unmistakable, wistful voice. The result of this mixture is a collection of four
self-produced records and a handful of singles that cover a range of moods and a complex emotional realm while maintaining a groove and musicality.
