Plants And Animals In La La Land With New Album

April 20 is a Tuesday this year, which means plenty of acts will have the opportunity to make jokes about 4/20 in album titles released that day.

Plants And Animals look to be one of the first groups to do this, since their sophomore album, La La Land, will be out on April 20 through Secret City.

Singer/guitarist Warren Spicer, multi-instrumentalist Nicolas Basque and drummer/singer Matthew Woodley recorded the follow-up to 2008's Polaris Music Prize short listed Parc Avenue at the band's Treatment Room studio in Montreal and at Paris, France's Studio La Frette in 2009. It's described as "louder" and "tougher" than Parc Avenue and features more electric guitars, amplification and fuzz pedals, according to the Secret City website.

"The Paris stuff is like a nice Bordeaux [wine] and the Montreal stuff is more like a baked potato," Spicer says. "Sessions in Paris ended by 10 p.m., sessions in Montreal by 6 a.m."

Baked potato. 4/20. This is pretty much perfect. Just, you know, sayin'.

No track listing has been announced for La La Land yet, but you can hear lead-off track "Tom Cruz" here.
