Good morning!
Today we’re listening to “House on Fire,” by the Montreal-based band Plants And Animals.
Below is a wonderfully descriptive article on the band’s history.
“In 2003 they bat out an instrumental menagerie of song-like folk-beasts, and put some of them to tape in the form of a recording that local label Ships at Night would later release. By 2005 the three young men were taming the sprawling wilderness of their sound and sculpting real songs, as Spicer also lead the way to a (hitherto unheard of) vocal domination of their material—as if he had been possessed by the ghost of some recently departed soul singer.”

Crazy good choice Kevin 👏 I'm going through Plants And Animals discography on Spotify and I can't find any bad song. Every single one feels so interesting and fresh. I can't think of a band that sounds similar. And that's awesome! You've made my start of the day with this recommendation. Thanks a lot
