Plants and Animals

Add Date: April 20

Artist: Plants and Animals

Album: La La Land

Label: Secret City

Genre: Rock

Comments: Montreal trio Plants and Animals makes psych folk-laced rock that should appeal to fans of Broken Social Scene, Blitzen Trapper and Akron/Family. Their sophomore release La La Land isn't quite as jawdropping as 2008's Parc Avenue, which Pitchfork called "a sprawling collection of rootsy melodies, majestic arrangements, and classic rock riffs that owes as much to jam-band psychedelia as it does to delicately orchestrated chamber-folk." However, it's a very solid followup. Start with "American Idol" and "Jeans Jeans Jeans."
