Plants and Animals share “Love That Boy” video off upcoming LP ‘The Jungle’

Montreal’s Plants and Animals has shared the video for “Love That Boy,” the latest track off their upcoming fifth LP, The Jungle.

A melancholic song about family, the track also has a moving resonance to this turbulent era we’re in, with lines like: “There’s a world out there / Someday I want you to show me.”

Plants and Animals singer-songwriter Warren Spicer had the following to say about the track: “It’s a song about my family, present and past, but it feels more like a meditation. I was upset, frustrated and feeling like no one knew me—the kid me, the me I still feel I am. And then writing the song chilled me out and put me right. It was a way to connect with my dead parents and with my new life as a dad, and to give everyone a proper hug.”

The music video, directed by Yann-Manuel Hernandez, was also inspired by Warren’s early life memories. Spicer continues: “I have a strong memory of being a kid in the backseat of my parent’s car driving down the road at night in Halifax. The moon was bright and I watched it as it danced, interrupted by trees, like a strobe light or a stop-motion film. It followed us as we drove and I couldn’t figure out how it was doing that. Nothing else I could see out the window kept up. Why is the moon not moving? I hadn’t thought of that for a very long time, but somehow the song brought me back to that place.”
