"The Ice Storm" The Go! Team

More exclamation marks! The Go! Team's debut cd "Thunder, Lightning, Strike" was one of my favourite albums of last year. Their music is difficult to describe but I can invoke the following references with some confidence: sonic youth, broken social scene, afrika bombata and sesame street. They were kind enough to release a new ep recently and it's just as good. This song is kind of an anomaly for them, in that there's no singing or rapping or even shouting and also no driving drum line. What it does have is the same joyful optimism that characterizes all their songs. Put it on repeat and write your first novel.
