Video: Ashnikko Prepares for Battle in Cinematic 'WEEDKILLER' Video
The visual delves deeper into the dystopian lore behind her forthcoming album.

On the heels of her explosive Coachella debut, blue-haired superstar Ashnikko (she/they) delves deeper into the dystopian lore behind her forthcoming album with the official video for its arresting title track "WEEDKILLER."
The new visuals immerse us in Ashnikko's self-written post-apocalyptic world as they burst onto the pop hook like an artillery barrage. Directed by Furmaan + Vasso, we witness Ashnikko's battle with the menacing Weedkiller robot, an enemy designed to symbolize Earth's environmental catastrophe and technological advancement.
Ashnikko explains, "This is the song that spawned the whole album. It's the climax of the record, the epic fight scene in the wasteland. Swords drawn, roots deep into the ground, I have come here to photosynthesize and eliminate the weedkillers. It is a violent fantastical storytelling set in my realm."
Her wild and wonderful Coachella performance just landed her on the cover of LA Weekly's 2023 Coachella Issue and GALORE Magazine's April Issue, plus widespread buzz from the likes of NYLON, Rolling Stone, NME, and many more. Next up, she'll bring her WEEDKILLER World Tour - her biggest headline tour to date - to audiences around the globe beginning this September.
