Pussy Riot<\/strong> will release their debut album \u2018CYKA\u2019 later this year.<\/p>\n The Russian band have kicked against the pricks for about 14 years now, organising a series of daring stunts around the globe. Blending activism with biting Riot Grrrl infused songwriting, Pussy Riot recently touched down at the Venice Biennale, the so-called \u201cOlympics of the art world\u201d, to launch their long-awaited debut album.<\/p>\n An event that became a protest against Russia\u2019s controversial return to the event, the band formally announced \u2018CYKA\u2019 in brash, uncompromising style.<\/p>\n Staying true to the ideas laid down by Pussy\u00a0Riot\u2019s founder, Nadya Tolokonnikova, the record features a handful of guests \u2013 including, tantalisingly, the voice of Vladimir Putin on the title track.<\/p>\n New single \u2018CANDY DOPAMINE\u2019 is out now \u2013 discussing their personal experiences with anti-depressants, it also looks at the darker side of \u201ceveryone now mentalhealthmaxxing and looksmaxxing via pills and injections<\/em>\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Out now, \u2018CANDY DOPAMINE\u2019 features alt legends Avenged Sevenfold<\/strong>. Nadya Tolokonnikova<\/strong> explains:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis song is kind of a love & hate song to prescription and designer drug culture. It started with my dependence on anti depressants, but it\u2019s also looking at everyone now mentalhealthmaxxing and looksmaxxing via pills and injections. It\u2019s not a judgement, it\u2019s just an observation and my personal experience with these things is that I have to be in a long term relationship with them for my PTSD and depression.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Tune in now.<\/p>\n \n
