Plants and Animals Lightshow (Secret City)
4/5
By: Stan Morgan
French-Canadians Plants and Animals’ last album, 2010’s La La Land, was criminally overlooked by the press upon its release, perhaps because of its similarities in style to the successful debut by Local Natives, released a few months previously.
For their third album The End Of That (pictured) the band haven’t decided to change much, sticking with what worked so well on their previous effort but polishing up some of the rougher edges. Recording was done in Paris, but the sound is very much in line with some of the better indie music to have come from the other side of the Atlantic in the past few years, with a big guitar-heavy chorus and more pensive, jolting verses.
The band’s position as an underrated and for the most part undiscovered outfit might just lead to a few surprises for those who stumble across them, but unless tracks like ‘Lightshow’ are picked up by the press it looks like the band will continue to sparkle in the shadows of others.
