For all that Montreal has given indie music (send your thank you notes to Arcade Fire, Chromeo, Islands, Wolf Parade, among others)
Plants and Animals' debut album
Parc Avenue (
Secret City Records) marks the first time I can remember hearing from one of the citys hippy dippy inhabitants. Even before giving this one a whirl, all signs point towards Patchouli. First theres that name of theirs. Kind of embraces everything, everywhere, you know? Like all there is to love about life, and the very essence of being. Its all right there man! Plants and Animals
you dig? Then there is the matter of all those lovely folks on the cover
doing whatever it is they like to do with themselves in the woods. Last time these Sgt. Peppers got together they were staring back at me from Devendra Banharts
Cripple Crow.
