Immaculate Machine - Ones and Zeros is 10

I love several tunes from Immaculate Machine's 2005 album Ones and Zeros. The album is 10 years old today, so it's a great time to listen to some of these great, energetic, heartfelt power pop tunes. Kathryn Calder was in the band and you know her now from her work with The New Pornographers and her solo albums.

"Broken Ship"

"Invention '77"

"So Cynical"

"No Way Out"

"Helicopter" from Bloc Party's incredible début Silent Alarm. One of the most frantically amazing albums from front to back.

"An Honest Mistake" from The Bravery's eponymous 80s tribute

"7/4 Shoreline" from Broken Social Scene's amazing self-titled album

"Munich" from Editors unparalleled The Back Room
