Why do we like this?

Regardless of how impressive the vocals, writing and mixing on this track are, any track named "Western Children" with a line like "Your view could be right, but it probably isn't" has my attention.

Essentially, the song plays out as an immaculately executed and cathartic master class in social commentary from originally Portland-based, but now LA-based Arkivist. It's one of three tracks on their seemingly newly-formed SoundCloud, and is definitely my favourite.

You can check out their website for some more info and to check out when they might be playing in your town, because their sound promises to translate into an insanely good live show.
