Pussy Riot - “I Can’t Breathe” (Official Video)

Pussy Riot have shared a video for a new song called “I Can’t Breathe,” which is dedicated to Eric Garner, who was killed by a police officer in July. “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,” the group wrote, introducing the song. The video was filmed in Moscow, and sees Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina buried alive in Russian police uniforms. The song itself was recorded in New York with a number of American collaborators, including Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner, Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt, and punk legend Richard Hell. The track also features vocals from Russian punk bands Jack Wood and Scofferlane. At the end of the song, Hell recites the last words Garner said before he was murdered.
