Though last year’s too-brief with/avec EP hinted at Plants and Animals’ expansiveness, it didn’t fully prepare listeners for Parc Avenue, a sprawling collection of rootsy melodies, majestic arrangements, and classic rock riffs…Plants and Animals may not be the first band to put Montreal on the musical map, but, with this album’s there’s-no-place-like-home vibe, they are certainly the first to celebrate it so warmly.
