Pvssy Riot & Boys Noize Team Up and Bring Alice Glass Along for 'Chastity'

A brand new trifecta comes to you in the form of Russia's Pussy Riot, Berlin's Boys Noize and Canada's Alice Glass who are offering up "Chastity" via Boysnoize Records. Nadya Tolokonnikova says: "This song will put the patriarchy in a tiny cage and throw the key out."

With "Chastity," Pussy Riot and Alice Glass wield Boys Noize's racing techno-NRG as a weapon of mass domination. The femme-fatale vocalists take turns drenching the Berlin producer's dark adrenaline with syrupy acid - and while it's an undeniable peak-time rush, a closer listen to the lyrics reveal disturbing new details.

One can never know for sure if the ladies are just singing along or issuing commands. Did Boys Noize know his production was being used by Pussy Riot and Alice Glass to create the first sissy-hypno-core banger? But the question that "Chastity" has everyone really asking is, "Who has the key?"

"Chastity"'s official music video concept & still images are by LIL INTERNET, the edit & animation by TRLLM [K8 Howl & Jak Ritger]. Don't miss!
