The End of That explained
The End of That is the third full-length album by Canadian indie rock band Plants and Animals, released on February 28, 2012 on Secret City Records.[1]
The album was recorded at La Frette Studios near Paris, France, with engineer Lionel Darenne.[2] Unlike the band's earlier albums, which were developed through improvisational jamming in the studio, the band developed the material for The End of That in advance, resulting in a far faster completion rate than any of the earlier albums.
The album's first single, "Lightshow", was released as a 7" single, with a previously unreleased cover of Wolf Parade's "I'll Believe in Anything" as its B-side,[3] and subsequently topped CBC Radio 3's The R3-30 weekly singles chart on February 11.[4] The title song, "The End of That", was used as the credits song of the 2013 film Drinking Buddies, starring Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson.
The album debuted at number 46 in Canada.[5]
