In their debut full-length Parc Avenue, Montreal trio Plants and Animals demonstrated their ability to craft classic psychedelic jams full of rich orchestral sounds. The result was sprawling and theatrical, full of the kind of embellishments that has come to define the band. The band’s upcoming La La Land is reportedly a louder, more electric offering, the result of recording sessions in Montreal and Paris. Album opener “Tom Cruz” sounds like the band is exploring more rock and less folk, resembling the Francophone musics of fellow Montreal bands Malajube and Pas Chic Chic.

La La Land will be out on April 20, 2010. The band plays SXSW before performing dates in British Columbia.
