Ashnikko announces new album 'Smoochies', schedules 2026 UK & Ireland shows

Pop provocateur Ashnikko is back, and she’s bringing us news of a brand new album! The blue-haired icon will release her second album ‘Smoochies’ on 17th October. 

Set to follow on from her 2023 debut ‘WEEDKILLER’, ‘Smoochies’ promises to be her most autobiographical work to date, and across its fifteen tracks, feels - in Ashnikko’s own words - “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.” Its tracklisting is as follows.

‘Smoochies’ tracklisting:
Smoochie Girl
Liquid 
Trinkets
Chichinya
Skin Cleared
Microplastics
Full Frontal
She’s So Pretty
Wet Like (feat. COBRAH)
I Want My Boyfriends to Kiss
Sticky Fingers
Lip Smacker
Itty Bitty
Baby Teeth
It Girl

To mark the news of her new record, Ashnikko’s has also shared the candy-hued video for her recent single ‘Trinkets’ - which landed earlier this week - as directed by Léa Esmaili, and confirmed plans for a handful of live shows in early 2026 (including a stint at London’s Brixton Academy) across the UK and Ireland.
