Hello Everyone,

I'm sure you're all enjoying your April 1st as much as I am. So far I have 3 friends getting a "divorce", 2 friends who are going to be "baby daddy's", and countless Facebook friends who've tagged Google's Topeka joke (HERE). To sum it up, it was fun when we were in grade school and we thought we were the only ones in on this "holiday". Unless the prank is rrreeeeaallllllyy good it's not cute (example of a good prank HERE) Who makes up these crappy holiday's anyway?

Okay, I've vented. Let's get down to business. Below is a bit of info on Plant & Animals new record, La La Land (Secret City Records, Caroline). We want to mention again that the CD comes out on 4.20, but the LP is specially available for RECORD STORE DAY only!

Cheers

PLANTS & ANIMALS "La La Land" [4.20.10]

This week we give you Montreal's Plants and Animals. Their second full-length, La La Land is out 4.20 on Secret City Records. Perhaps you caught Plants and Animals last release, Parc Avenue, which landed itself on Pitchfork's list of Overlooked Albums of 2008.

"Plants and Animals latest offering, La La Land, is louder, and tougher, but also showcases them at their smoothest and most cohesive to-date. Inspired by a rediscovery of electric guitars, amplification and fuzz pedals, it takes us up and away from Parc Avenue’s Montreal-in-the-summer vibe, and out into the rock n’ roll ether" (secretcityrecords.com).

 

If you weren't able to catch one of Plants and Animals SXSW shows, don't fret, they'll be on tour to support La La Land's release this month. Please let us know if you would like to attend any of the shows or if you would like any tickets for a giveaway.
