DOWNLOAD: Plants and Animals - Faerie Dance (MP3)
Plants and Animals blew the crowd away when they opened for Wolf Parade during their last Montreal residency. Their new album Parc Avenue drops March 25th on Secret City, and I think you'll be hearing a lot about these guys. And with good reason. They harness a 60's folk-rock sound channeled through a classic 70's, Todd Rundrgren-style production. Their songs start off unassuming and then build to these majestic conclusions.
Check them out at SXSW this year. More tour dates, and a video, below...

I saw them open for wolf parade at black cat in dc. everyone i talked to there thought they were awesome. i think blown away would be an acceptable statement to describe it.
