(R) “Plants play a mystical brand of psychedelic folk whose solemn, droning beauty and stately pace recall Six Organs of Admittance and Pearls Before Swine at their most pastoral and intense.”
- Dave Segal, The Stranger

(R) “Plants alchemize hazy, stoned, sylvan folk and ambient sound into warm, shimmering, psychedelic gold.”
- Adam Gnade, The Portland Mercury

(R) Spastic Portland noise-punk duo Point Line Plane went on hiatus last year and, to fill the void, singer Josh Blanchard formed this dreamy freak-folk band with girlfriend Molly Griffith (formerly a cellist for the Decemberists). The resulting collaboration is one of the haziest, gauziest, loveliest records of the year. To say this album is depressant-friendly is an understatement. The droning, sometimes unintelligible vocals usually come in after two or three minutes of bells, flutes and strings. And when the lyrics can be understood, they are usually about faeries, elves or other things cooked up during an epic DJ battle. By combining the sounds of old-school heads like Love and Donovan with the modern tape-damaged murk of Akron/Family and Ariel Pink, Plants have carved a nice little home for stoner-nerd bliss.
