Last year, Pussy Riot released their debut mixtape MATRIARCHY NOW, which featured appearances from Big Freedia, Salem Ilese, and was executive produced by Tove Lo. Following this they collaborated with Alice Glass and Boys Noize on the track “Chastity”, and featured on Palaye Royal’s track “Debilitate”.
Today they return with the brand new single, “Bad Trip”, which features alt-rock icons Nova Twins and the multi-platinum Argentinian producer Mykka who has worked with the likes of Bad Bunny, Duki, and khea.
“Mykka played this beat for me and I got obsessed and begged her to give it to me. It sounds menacing and dominant. I’m a big fan of Bosch so I wanted to imagine what would be my version of hell / bad trip in this track – being mansplained and totally dominated would be a version of hell for me, that’s why my verse goes: “Mansplain me! i don’t really know what am i doing with my life, how to be a woman, tell me how to be a wife, tell me how to kiss and tell me how to die. wanna be obedient, i wanna be your wife wife,” says Nadya Riot
“We love Pussy Riot and all that they stand for, so when Nadya messaged us during lockdown, asking us to feature on “Bad Trip”, we were super excited! The tune bangs and they are a force of nature!” adds Nova Twins.
