For a lot of bands, the capacity to plug in and just rock out as hard as they can is their best quality. However, for the Canadian indie-rock trio Plants and Animals, restraint is their ace in the hole. That’s not to say they can’t produce catharsis when the amps are turned up to 11,Read more...

Bumbershoot Music Lounge: Plants and Animals

By KEXP | Published: September 4, 2010

From Montreal, Plants and Animals play deliberate, carefully constructed indie rock that is sometimes subdued and desolate, and sometimes mellow but high-spirited indie rock that shows flashes of bands like MGMT and Animal Collective.
