About This Track
Ashnikko's 'Weedkiller' arrives as a portrait of dormancy broken by violent awakening. The track inhabits a Dune-inspired post-apocalyptic wasteland, one she has constructed across the album it titles. She moves through the song with a predator's confidence, adopting the voice of someone who has been "iced in hibernation" and is now ready to strike. The electro-pop production frames her threats with a kind of celebratory menace: "I've been training for murder" becomes both boast and release. The song pivots on a botanical metaphor that doubles as a reckoning. To photosynthesize is to grow; to be a weedkiller is to eliminate what refuses to fit. Ashnikko collapses the two impulses into one, turning dormancy and aggression into the same act. The production leans into post-industrial textures, all jagged edges and mechanical precision, matching the lyrical swagger with a sound that feels deliberately abrasive.
"WEEDKILLER" is a single by Ashnikko, from the album WEEDKILLER, released 24th August 2023. The track is 2:06 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 18 articles about Ashnikko.

BitterSweet returns to Poland with a stacked bill built for discovery, singalongs and everything in between.
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.
