This is "Lovely Allen" by a Toronto outfit called Holy Fuck. The name might lead one to believe that they are an angry lo-fi punk band who make money by selling T-shirts with hand-drawn anarchy signs, but in actuality they are an improvisational electronic band who make some of the most wonderful music I've heard in a very long time. In this particular cut, pay special attention to the bridge, especially the part from about 2:53 to 3:07 where the violin swells into an explosion of noise that sounds like every instrument in the world started playing at the same moment. It's euphoric.
Oh, and be sure to turn your volume up to maximum, as it's really the only way to listen to this sort of thing.
