Song of the Day: Plants and Animals – ‘Faerie Dance’

Plants and Animals – Faerie Dance

One of my very favourite songs of late has been this irresistable 7-minute-plus track from Canadian outfit Plants and Animals. Slow, hushed and reflective to begin with, it trickles along gently until hitting a dramatic segue of stabbing piano and cielo before kicking into a fantastic finale of a sing-along chorus punctuated by an exquisite touch of lap steel. Their ‘With/Avec’ EP is worth buying for this three-piece suite alone.
