Plants and Animals are set to bring their new album, La La Land, to life when they hit the road for a Canadian tour starting April 21 in Quebec City.  Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, February 5 at 10:00 a.m. (dates listed below).  The band will also be showcasing the new material during a series of performances in March at both CMW in Toronto and at SXSW in Austin, Texas.  The much anticipated La La Land hits stores on April 20. 

Announced in January, La La Land is the band’s second full-length offering following their breakthrough debut in 2008, Parc Avenue.  Since that album was released the band has played over 150 shows throughout the Western world, including appearances at the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago, Primavera in Barcelona, Central Park Summer Stage with the National, and even one night in Columbus opening for Gnarls Barkley, after Danger Mouse discovered Parc Avenue and invited them out.
