PRAISE FOR THE JUNGLE
The dream pop of Le Queens is a rare French-language incursion for the Quebec band, who are joined by fellow countrywoman Adèle Trottier-Rivard. The misty Bold perfectly concludes this contemporary pop journey. - Le Monde
Sung by Warren Spicer in a deceiving monotone, the various songs weave a canvas of bittersweet moods and hushed revolt, with sophisticated arrangements.
fff - Télérama
Plants and Animals claim a more definitive and cogent sense of identity, maximizing a talent for both interpretation and invention. ★★★★ – Exclaim!
The ample, solid production catches the ear and demands curiosity and attention, with its intelligent arrangements full of subtleties. ★★★ ½ - Rolling Stone France
Songs like “House on Fire” and “Sacrifice” highlight what the band does best: form a rhythmic engine, whether it’s fuelled by a chugging riff or driving synths, that feels unstoppable, and will surely inspire the same feeling in its listeners. – CBC Music
Mid-album track Sacrifice is explosive, undoubtedly one of the highlights of the whole Plants and Animals discography. […] Seems to me like the trio had yet to reach such dramatic intensity in the past. 7.5/10 – Le Canal Auditif
A concise, vivid, refreshing album. - Le Devoir
Quite simply, The Jungle is an outstanding record, and a must for anyone who misses peak era Talking Heads. Superb. – God is in the TV (UK)
A remarkably full, rich album of interesting, atmospheric electro-rock. - Spill Magazine
