I've gushed about Jona and Claire before, their music, their shows, their ethics and ethos, their essence, OK? And I'm gonna do it again.

If after watching what the two-tone, smiley-triangle-lovin electro pop pair have done by taking the unassailably sweet, bouncing closer and title track from last year's Shangri-La album and putting it in the talented hands of filmmakers Brandon Vedder and Colin Mika of All Cut Up Films, you don't want to sign up immediately for Team Y∆CHT, I don't know what is wrong with you.

There's yoga and crunches, there's making juice and cavorting with friends in the woods, at the beach and in the LA River Basin, just general blissed-out goodness.

Now, I will never ever get the LA fixation. "If I can't go to heaven, let me go to LA" sings Claire, as she gets her LA tattoo. No thanks. West Texas desert, maybe, or Oregon. But Claire and Jona would be the first to back me up on this: you can build your own Utopia wherever you want.

A band and a song and a video that make you want to live and love and treat people right. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Those tiny glowing triangles are smiling for a reason!  We love you Y∆CHT, and our NV Music Video of the Day is the aptly named "Shangri-La".
