Ashnikko reveals details of their second album, Smoochies

Directed by Léa Esmaili the music video gives us inside access to Ashnikko’s art nouveau candy coloured world brimming with doll parts, ashtrays, D&D dice and keychains of men. In a time where minimalism and clean girl aesthetic is on the rise, Ashnikko leans into maximalism as a form of expression. Speaking on "Trinkets", Ashnikko says :"My little princess boys, love being trinkets, hanging off my bag, looking up at me with smiles on their faces, swinging as I walk.”

Speaking on the forthcoming album, Smoochies, Ashnikko says: "Smoochies feels like Demidevil's older sister. It’s sexy, playful, and feminine, while toeing the line of grotesque and absurd. I feel like purse sediment so much of the time – like a mess of crumbs and gum in receipts and lipgloss that I’ve forgotten about – so the album feels like that too. This is the first where I’ve written very autobiographically, but at the core of it all is personal autonomy and joyful whimsy."

Ashnikko has also announced SMOOCHIES Tour, kicking off on 11 February 2026 in Glasgow’s O2 Academy, stopping in Manchester and Dublin before making its way to London's O2 Academy Brixton.
