Forget the dystopian hellscape, ASHNIKKO has other plans
With ‘Smoochies’, ASHNIKKO has swapped apocalyptic fury for radical joy, and their colourful fantasy is taking on a life of its own.
About This Track
‘Acne’ by Ashnikko is a 2020 track that leans into a brash, confrontational persona, with lyrics that compare their impact to something eruptive and irritating. The verse in the provided snippet frames a return with aggressive physical imagery, then shifts into chaotic, slangy insults and self-mythologising, culminating in an outlandish party of references to being worshipped and causing a volatile stir. One quoted phrase captures the central metaphor: ‘bumping like acne’.
"Acne" is a track by Ashnikko, released 8th July 2020. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 18 articles about Ashnikko.

With ‘Smoochies’, ASHNIKKO has swapped apocalyptic fury for radical joy, and their colourful fantasy is taking on a life of its own.

Dr. Martha Newson heads up new on-site research lab studying festival behaviour.
Ashnikko has made a record that treats provocation as pop craft.

Tonight, Ashnikko proves she is a one-of-a-kind star.

Two years ago, **Ashnikko** announced a trio of shows at London’s Omeara in support of their ‘Hi, It’s Me’ EP. Over those three nights, they were set to play to just under 1,000 people before the global pandemic put a stop to those plans. Tonight, one mixtape and a handful of singles later, Ashnikko finally gets to play a headline show in her adopted hometown of London.
Big, brash and bold, Ashnikko never pulls a single punch.
