Plants and Animals are yet another indie band to hail from the mecca of indie artists that is Montreal, Canada. Being a native Texan I know very little to nothing about Montreal, Canada, but I do know this; whatever is in the water up there needs to be bottled up and sold as liquid gold. I really didn't think another album could come out of the Montreal scene that I could enjoy on this level, but Parc Avenue crept up on me out of nowhere and I am loving this album. The best way I can describe the sound of Plants and Animals is to mix 70's radio, My Morning Jacket and Midlake in a blender and put a bit of Vodka in for kicks. Parc Avenue covers the gambit from Nick Drake jangly acoustic guitars to overdriven amps pounding out southern rock anthems. Parc Avenue will surely make the mix in my year end "best of" lists and I may regret giving the album only an 8.5, but only time will tell. -(8.5/10)
