Pussy Riot release new single with a flashy music video days after FIFA protest: Watch
Now that they've got the world's attention, thanks to their high-profile protest at the final game of FIFA World Cup 2018 in Moscow on July 15, Pussy Riot has no intention of slowing down. The Russian protest-punk outfit has unveiled a catchy new single.
Titled 'Track About Good Cop', the track comes with its own flashy music video and is rife with references to their political statement “Policeman enters the game,” which contrasted the differences between a “heavenly policeman” and the “earthly policeman,” while alluding to the works of Russian poet Dmitriy Prigov, who the band claim "created an image of a policeman, a carrier of the heavenly nationhood, in the Russian culture."
Jokingly credited to Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, the clip features Russian cops dancing in the snow, all while the group sings about a would-be world filled with “boys and girls” and “sugary streets,” where “cops are kissing under the clouds.”
