Richard Hell and Nick Zinner add extra punk credentials.

Pussy Riot have unveiled their first song in English. ‘I Can’t Breathe’ is dedicated to Eric Garner and “all those […] who suffer from state terror – killed, choked, perished because of war and state sponsored violence of all kinds,” as the group explain on YouTube.

In the video, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina, the Pussy Riot figureheads who were imprisoned for protesting in a Russian church in 2012, get buried alive while wearing riot police uniforms. A pack of Russian Spring cigarettes can also be seen, alluding to “those who are in love with Russia’s aggressive militant actions in Ukraine”.

The track itself was recorded in New York last December during the protests against police brutality, with Pussy Riot’s Sasha Klokova singing over a ragged, industrial track performed by Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner, drummer (and Ben Frost collaborator) Shahzad Ismaily, Andrew Wyatt and Matt Kulakov. Punk legend Richard Hell also delivers Eric Garner’s final words at the end of the track.
