Califone released a video for the single "Frosted Tips," a new track culled from their recently released album, Stitches .  The song has a jubilant tone to it despite the fact that the line "watching the new world die" is its most discernible lyric, icy guitar strums and tom-driven percussion flank occasional horn blasts and string sections.  There's a glory to it somehow.  The video depicts the tenants of an apartment building in all their various states of living, either celebrating, struggling, playing, contemplating, enjoying their time or having sex (that last bit makes the video unsuitable for the cubicle, by the way).  You can watch the video below.
