Next month, Pussy Riot will release their debut mixtape, Matriarchy Now, executive produced by Tove Lo and featuring Hudson Mohawke, Big Freedia, and others. The Russian activist and art collective collaborated with iLoveMakonnen on a new song called “Plastic,” which you can hear below. Haley Bowman directed the video.

Matriarchy Now arrives August 5 via Neon Gold. It precedes the 10-year anniversary, on August 17, of the Russian court conviction that propelled the group into the public eye, when three members were sentenced to two years in prison for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” after staging a performance in a church.

The other guests on the mixtape are Slayyyter, Salem Ilese, Phoebe Ryan, Mazie, and Kito. Pussy Riot recently hung a 45-foot “Matriarchy Now” banner from the third floor of the Texas State Capitol to protest the stripping of reproductive rights. “Body autonomy is a pillar of modern civilization,” they wrote in a manifesto. “There’s no human rights as we know them without body autonomy taken as an axiom. People with wombs demand body autonomy. We demand our rights, we don’t ask for it. Don‘t like abortions? Don’t make them. Oh yes, and did you know? Vasectomy prevents abortions.”
