Buy this track to support Amnesty
Portishead have released a brand new track - 'Chase the Tear' for Amnesty International.It's now available as an exclusive download single from 7 digital with all earnings going towards Amnesty's human rights work.
First aired on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on 9 December, the track is out just in time for international human rights day on 10 December.
And if you were wondering - 'Chase the Tear' is a reference to a paper tear-style 'tear', not a tear from an eye!
