“magnificent, riffed and hooked, beautifully recorded,” – Said the Gramophone

“Cross-legged acoustic jams and staggering electric anthems … even at their most ornate, Plants and Animals have always been a power trio at core. They play with such vigor that they might as well be fronting an unheard orchestra.” – Filter

The End of That is Plants and Animals’ third full-length album, following their breakthrough debut, Parc Avenue, and 2010’s La La Land. It showcases the band in an intimate, almost live-off-the-floor setting. While there’s no shortage of their catchy electric guitar riffs, as evidenced on lead single “Lightshow,” the album also showcases lead singer Warren C. Spicer on piano, and plenty of acoustic guitar—an early touchstone of the band that had been given a break on the last record. Fans of Plants and Animals’ early acoustic work will feel right at home with The End of That, while lovers of the band’s multi-part excursions won’t be disappointed either; side A and B of the album end and begin with their own respective anthemic monsters. Plants and Animals have a large live following, and have supported The National, Grizzly Bear, Frightened Rabbit and Broken Bells, among others.
