We love so much about (the band) Plants and Animals from Montreal.  Their last album (2010’s La La Land) was a huge hit at Chez Lefort (complete with Central Coast referents).  They have a somewhat retro (th0ugh updated) sound that fires on all retro rockets when they are heat-seeking.

Last month the band showed up at SXSW in support of their new album, The End of That, and was captured well (as usual) by KEXP.  Check out the dynamics and acoustic/electric guitar-play on their songs Before, Lola Who and The End of That.  Clearly this band is at their best performing their songs live and stretched out.  And if you like what you hear (and who wouldn’t?), check out the entire performance at bottom.
