Pussy Riot share new song/video "I Can't Breathe" featuring Richard Hell and members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Miike Snow

This song is for Eric and for all those from Russia to America and around the globe who suffer from state terror — killed, choked, perished because of war and state sponsored violence of all kinds — for political prisoners and those on the streets fighting for change

Pussy Riot have released a new song/video, “I Can’t Breathe,” which is partially about Eric Garner who was killed by an NYC policeman last summer. The song was recorded in New York during the Garner protests and features Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner, Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt (both of whom were in the Vice party house band Pussy Riot performed with), and downtown legend Richard Hell who contributes spoken word (specifically, Garner’s last words) to the end of the song. The video, meanwhile, has Pussy Riot’s Masha and Nadya being “buried alive in the Russian riot police uniforms that are worn during the violent clashes of police and the protesters fighting for change in Russia.” Watch it below…
