Ashnikko releases dystopian debut album Weedkiller
The alternative artist will also perform a secret set at Reading Festival to commemorate the release of their new release. Ashnikko’s new project, Weedkiller, is a dystopic universe that tells the story of a fae civilization occupied and destroyed by machines that feed on organic matter where the faerie protagonist seeks revenge by becoming part machine.
A poetic commentary on environmental disaster and the rapid evolution of technology, Weedkiller gives way to a gutsy narrative, grinding guitars and captivating visuals.
On the album, Ashnikko explains: “The world I’ve been crafting for the past two and a half years is finally hatching. I felt immense release writing this record.
It deepened my sense of selfhood. It sent roots out of my feet and into the earth. “I reclaimed my body from the weedkillers who latched onto my skin like ticks.
