Limited edition 2LP of Plants and Animals critically acclaimed 2008 debut album, Parc Avenue. Review A sprawling collection of rootsy melodies, majestic arrangements, and classic rock riffs that owes as much to jam-band psychedelia and it does to delicately orchestrated chamber-folk. (8.0/10 review) --Pitchfork Though PARC AVENUE is undeniably epic, Plants And Animals take a casual approach to their sound, stuffing the songs with structural shifts rather than browbeating us with grandiose statements. --Magnet On their second full-length release, Montreal's Plants and Animals channel the spirit of a disparate batch of their Canadian cousins. While many of their tunes are based on earthy, relatively lo-fi, country/folk-inflected structures that evoke HARVEST-era Neil Young, the band simultaneously harbors loftier ambitions. For all their organic qualities, the songs sometimes feed into arrangements that work on a grand, ARCADE FIRE-type scale, elegantly unfurling with prog and psych touches that make PARC AVENUE an endearingly unpredictable experience. --Muze
