Plants and Animals - Lola Who

Album: With/Avec EP [2006]

this is about as obscure as it comes on the lazy river road. though montreal's plants and animals have carved out a respectable following over the course of their first two full-album releases (highlighted by 2008's "parc avenue"), this song comes from an EP that's very difficult to find any information on. "lola who" is immediately infectious and could easily have been a stand-out track on their much more promoted releases. it starts out rather innocently, with a steady drum beat and acoustic strum setting the pace. however, the instrumental breakdown provides a lot of little curveballs before entering the "lola, lola who" chorus-like conclusion.
