Today, alt-pop trailblazer Ashnikko released her third album, "Smoochies" on Warner Music Group and Parlophone Records.
Her catalog also includes 2021's "Demidevil" and 2023's "Weedkiller".
According to Ashnikko, "‘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."
The album is being released on different color vinyl with different covers. The vinyl editions include an indie exclusive white vinyl, Urban Outfitters exclusive black ice vinyl, website exclusive butter yellow vinyl and a website exclusive deluxe pink vinyl. There is also a standard CD as well as a deluxe CD.
The aesthetic of this album is awesome. I love the use of pastel colors. I'm not crazy about a lot of new album art these days because a lot of it doesn't grab my attention. I love album covers that include pastel colors and great photography. Ashnikko did an awesome job of using both in her album art for "Smoochies".
