Ashnikko announces sophomore album ‘Smoochies’ and 2026 UK and Ireland shows

Ashnikko has unveiled her new album Smoochies, which will be released on October 17 via Parlophone.

Along with the announcement, she has dropped a music video for her latest single, “Trinkets”, directed by Léa Esmaili. Watch it below:

This is the follow-up to her debut album WEEDKILLER. The pop sensation’s sophomore project promises to be her most personal yet, as 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.”
