Ioseb - C/O Night [post-rock]

This is "C/O Night" by Ioseb, a Swedish post-rock band whom describe their music as "great ambient atmospheres and beautiful harmonies in which the thin vocals embrace you as warm hands on a frosty December morning". I think that description does a good job of conveying what I felt when I first heard this song. In the context of its album, this song is the calm before the storm: the song prior to this is entitled "The Declaration" and the songs following are titled after various images of war. This is also explains the ending of the song (which is not a glitch on the Youtube video) that consists of an abrupt, distorted ending transitioning immediately into some sort of radio call and sirens, quite frightening really. This song can be found on their 2009 album The Ghost Of Thirty-Three.
