Sugar At The Gate Born At Midnite It’s a swirl of tape

It’s a swirl of tape sketches

triumphant vocal turn from Savage is complimented by the detailed programming of Carriere

Cecile Believe’s is unmistakable

existing somewhere outside of time

the synth-mania of the 80s

Sugar At The Gate Born At Midnite It’s a swirl of tapeFor Sugar At The Gate, their third and most ambitious album to date, Montreal's TOPS peaced out to LA. They lived and recorded at Glamdale, a mini mansion and former brothel located in the Jewel City, Glendale, CA. The unassuming record unfolds slowly, taking time to reveal itself. Like nearly everything TOPS does, multiple meanings overlap with the album's title referring to orgasm, but also to carrot chasing, gatekeeping, and the social contract.
