Listen to the track below.Follow Noisey on Twitter."While this track didn't seem to fit on Harmlessness, the feeling it evokes seems more appropriate to recent times. The artwork for the song depicts a modern-day Terracotta Army being torn down. It's unsettling to see the voices of positive change in the community around you get drowned out within a world of dated and regressive ideals. In an effort to help make those voices of change heard, we're permanently donating all the Bandcamp proceeds from this track to the non-profit and nonpartisan group the ACLU."
