Hell-bent on conquering the US, the never road-weary Plants and Animals have added more dates to an already busy tour schedule in support of their new album, The End of That (released on February 28 viaSecret City Records). The band will support Bombay Bicycle Club for a week on the East Coast in late July prior to their performance at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival. Their US tour kicked off in March with a whirlwind, successful week at SXSW, where the band commanded several packed houses, from dive bars on 6th street to the quiet confines of St. David’s Historic Sanctuary, proving Plants and Animals have the chops to win over any audience, no matter what the setting. A full list of dates is below.

Two weeks ago, Plants and Animals released a hilarious, new video for the title track, “The End of That,” which was premiered on NPR Music.

Praise for The End of That:

“This Montreal trio has won comparisons to everyone from The Decemberists to Grizzly Bear to Arcade Fire, but we think they're in a league of their own with their guitar-driven indie rock sound. Merging refreshingly intelligent lyrics with a laid-back attitude, songs like ‘Light Show’ have a throbbing energy that seems like it comes from a group much bigger than three.” - NYLON

“Plants and Animals have proved themselves to be a band full of interesting ideas and the songwriting chops to bring those ideas to fruition. The End of That finds them sounding more mature and comfortable than ever before, signaling perhaps not an end at all, but rather a new beginning.” - Paste

“Even at their most ornate, Plants and Animals have always been a power trio at their core. They play with such vigor that they might as well be fronting an unheard orchestra.” - FILTER

“There are plenty of different textures as tones shift and change, and epic rock songs still reel us in with thick hooks and bracing power. The album recaptures the nearly childlike zeal of the band’s debut, and the sense of the band discovering new sounds as they record these songs transfers to the listener on most every track.” - PopMatters
