Who do you want to see on 'Making The Album' next? ⬇

[@freakshow7739]

Melanie Martinez talk about her Portals album if you have not yet done her. Doja Cat with her Scarlet album would also be interesting.

[@TJCertain.]

​@@freakshow7739YES!!!!!! I bought portals a few month ago and bought scarlet last week and it got delivered. Those albums really spoke to me. Especially "light shower" and "agora hills"

[@saraindish]

ethel cain if you haven't already done preacher daughter!

[@tudormiller887]

She's frickin' gorgeous. Watching in the UK.❤

[@lorrainefrazier5861]

Chappell Roan!

[@infinityai.]

the irony of ash being like “this is me being gross” and im just so incredibly attracted to it

[@glisteningglizzy]

fr this is my idea of perfection

[@SpiderLegs666]

SAME 😂

[@natalielaura333]

LITERALLY 🥵

[@fartmagus]

yeess!! haha

[@Blize-Red]

Omg, I'm ridiculously attached! I feel you! ^^

[@thanatosonpluto5098]

I looked WAY too deep into the 'mommy's okay' line, I viewed it as that mask that women have to put on when they are experiencing negative emotions because it has been taboo for them to express those things publicly but she was just talking to her dog. 💀

[@yakopc6600]

I though the stereotype was for women to be too emotional and for men to be ashamed of emotions?

[@S4BRINA_ON_PAWS_666]

MY LIFE IS A LIE!!!!

[@alicewonder6500]

That works too tho haha!

[@michipeachy69]

@@yakopc6600 Exactly, since the stereotype is women are emotional therefore not logical therefore must not be taken serious leads to women having to put on a mask to be taken seriously

[@yakopc6600]

​@@michipeachy69 I get that, also, that's not what the original comment said. They said women mask being a-ok because its taboo to show negative emotions, if they meant "women mask being ok because the stereotype of being overtly emotional will make others dismiss their problems" they could have typed that I hate generalising on a whole demographic, I hate to talk about stereotypes.

[@ethanthomas714]

You Make Me Sick came out around the time my boyfriend dumped me thru a text and basically told me I wasn’t important enough. So I really really needed that song at that time

[@LeLe-ce8sf]

imma same but like everything in this song like litearlly described the guy i was talking to and i was just like…. it’s not the first time ashnikko dropped a song after a break up she’s litearlly my spirirt

[@blackphillip8486]

I'm happy that the music helped y'all, it's not for me personally but music and artistic expression in any form is the best and cheapest form of therapy imo and always has been. All the best to you guys. 🖤

[@ushio.7998]

dying star is one of my favorite songs released this year

[@ShaniquaFearon]

Agreed Love the pfp😍

[@AbstractOddity]

Every song on this album is a banger. I can’t imagine how amazing it would’ve been to have this kind of music when I was a teenager. But even as an adult I can see myself in a lot of her music and a lot of it just in a fantasy kind of way which is fun too. The lyrics are just so catchy and perfect ugh I can’t get over it.

[@pinkoctopus801]

i agree, not a single song on the album is skippable. continuous bangers

[@yakopc6600]

"Time is fleeting, I want clarity" Thats exactly how I feel when people don't tell me what's up

[@ObeyLucifer]

This is such an amazing insight into how they constructed this album. I'm so glad this was recommended to me.

[@allnightclinic240]

Same

[@Thatdemonusloverfr]

OMG IS THAT LUCIFER FROM OBEY ME!?!??!?!

[@internetcrow9805]

we NEED a music video for Don't Look At It 😭😭😭

[@TheMmel09]

You make me sick helped me get through a terrible event in my life. While raging out feelings it still gave strength to push through. Love love Ashnikko!!!

[@str8faxx]

I love that song to rage too! Ugh let out every emotion 😊

[@Just_el33]

Reealll

[@rayaya6580]

same! TMI for some but i went through a horrible hook up experience which was my very first aswell and this song really helped me vent all the rage out

[@squeakysqueaks6571]

Honestly I adored this album, I went to the weedkiller concert yesterday. You could feel how much passion they put into this album, I connected strongly to the message of finding community, and connection, Dying star has a special place in my heart.

Thanks!!

[@supperpuppy8]

I would absolutely devour an ashnikko and Björk collab

[@pottyrat]

this is how i found out about Miss Nectarine, bc Spotify never pushed it to me. wow, that song. Wow.

[@TanzoNailArt]

I already loved Ashnikko but I’m even more impressed after this interview. She is so well spoken, educated, and confident in expressing herself. A great role model for this generation ❤

[@AGOONYY]

I love how she’s so real with every word. She’s so eternal.

[@Kirijoestar]

I love how she is brutally honest about how nervous she is

[@raishakisaragi6899]

Grimes, Doja, Ashnikko, Melanie Martinez, Kerli all need to come together and summon an alien entity from another dimension

[@dayshalong1151]

Finally someone said it

[@RayneBlakeman]

Don’t forget Aurora too!!! I want an Aurora x Ashnikko collab sooooo bad

[@ewbrainwormies]

Ashnikko genuinely speaks to my whole soul, my entire being😭🖤 their music has always helped me and continues to but they word it so well that I feel like they know me and I think so many people connect with what she's saying and this album and her as an artist is genuinely helping more people than they know, even with the songs that "seem silly" to some.

[@sierrafelling3020]

Please release the short story, I would honestly read all of them but the one for weedkiller especially

[@Maxxy03]

She has a graphic novel on her website called “Husk” Im pretty sure that’s the story:))

[@FreyjaFoxx.x]

At 24:00 shes absolutely talking about doja cat.

[@jasmintea8825]

I saw them a few days ago in cologne germany, and when I tell the show was incredible! I took quite a few videos but genuenly the camera could not transfer how hype the actual experience was, the best 40€ I've spend

[@O_Ciel_Phant0mhive]

She is easily on my top list of artists and I know she will stay on it for a long time or forever if possible. Worms is my favorite song of Ash 🪱 She is so raw, badass and a genius in every way. I'm horrible at explaining how I feel about her but I can't get enough of her artistry. She's insane and I honestly wish her the best moving forward.

[@Whotheeffisasking]

I need Ash and Melanie to do a collab!! Imagine Melanie Martinez’s soft and sweet energy paired with Ashnikko’s hard/rough femme rage… best of both worlds!

[@crybaby_k12_portalz]

that would be so cool!!

[@birdmaster091]

I absolutely LOVE this album! It really feels like Ash is coming into her own. Great interview and insights! 🥰

[@worsethan_ever3]

omg i love your pfp :3

[@KrnelPanc]

She's hard af in her music and such a warm hearted light being in her regular life. Yin yang. My favorite new artist! So love her.

[@lee-annsmith8566]

When she talks about her mom and how much she loves her! 🥹😭💜💜💜

[@JustLucaYT]

Dying Star, WEEDKILLER, Worms, Moonlight Magic are literally the best songs on this album-

Love this album, the first album I've bought vinyl to collect. And I listen to it on repeat in the car all the time.

[@Vanilla-Frogs]

[@soft.universe]

ash should call her fans asterisks because the lead character of weedkiller is named aster😭

[@LannasMissingLink]

She calls her fans demi devils

[@KaraokeDeepCuts]

Thank you for making this, my partner and I listened to it on a long drive and paused after she finished talking about each track to listen to the track with a new perspective. I thought I'd already had my main time being into this album, but this video revitalized that and made it even stronger TBH. Also gave me new perspective and appreciation about some of the songs and helped me connect with them more.

[@electrapoptart]

Ugh I loved this journey, the more I hear this album the more I love it. Dying Star at the end was perfect, it makes me want to cryyy

[@rewlette]

You Make Me Sick, Possession of a Weapon, Chokehold Cherry Python, Super Soaker, Want it All, and Cheerleader are my favs

[@churchoftheholyduck3339]

Want it All about loving being alive is so satisfying to me because when I heard want it all I immediately FELT the love of life and the greediness of wanting it all

[@KTShananigans7]

I love everything about this album. I just love the world that Ashnikko has created for herself through her music, creativity and passion. I saw her in Philly and Ive never been to a concert where almost the entire crowd screamed the words to every song. It was electric. You can just feel how she has affected everyone who listens to her music. I cant wait to see what she does next!! ❤

[@rachelb3301]

It’s so crazy because Ash says she based Chokehold Cherry Python on many people including Jinx and I would assume she means from League Of Legends. That’s immediately who I thought of when I heard the song

[@xUnsubsidingInsanity]

Oh, I thought she meant Teen Titans

[@MariannesStudio]

This is such a fascinating interview! I wish it came out earlier, it would have been so helpful. I did a visual art analysis of the WEEDKILLER world on my channel. But this interview is giving me even *more* food for thought ❤

[@Vanilla-Frogs]

Probably my favorite album this year

[@e19S1a4D]

i just love ashnikko so much. I listen to all of her albums and know every song by heart and all her songs just have such a strong meaning and shes just so genuine and I love it.

[@EzraInk]

I feel so blessed and lucky to listen to the process and ideas behind the songs I've become obsessed with. This album is so so cool and sad and powerful and cinematic. I adore this music.

[@stingray1740]

Ash, if you did write a manga or make a film, based off of your music, I know everyone would love and relate too it. You so descriptive and creative, I know whatever you make is gonna be amazing 💙🌀

[@Mewzuw]

I love her explanations

[@jet1893]

I was dying to know all about Chokehold Cherry Python so I cannot wait to have all my questions answered

[@TaraSmallss]

Yesss I love ashnikko!!

[@user-bx2hm1hk4k]

Buying this now. Love her art is solid and brings me to a level that will just call me vibin

[@artfulwick387]

Ok but now we need an album on the nym before the weedkillers

[@Vanilla-Frogs]

My personal favorite track is chokehold cherry python

[@quartzite_000]

in love with the album! weedkiller and super soaker are my faves

[@LittleMadameAnything]

You make me sick really helped me channeling rage when I was feeling into that freeze, avoidant trauma response after abuse. That’s why I love her music, because not everybody is able to channel and process emotions and situations but this really helped me standing up for myself and giving myself some justice. Love you Ashnikko

[@lilbbmuffin]

Never stop doing these 🥹

[@saleanatirado5870]

Shes amazing i love her music and personality such a great live performer . Beautiful soul indeed. ❤💜

[@MegaEagledude]

What a fantastic interview! As I was listening to the album I really got the sense of this whole world and I started to envision it. The album has inspired me to write a story based on the visuals I had. And then to hear that her process is basically that, blew me away a bit. I love Ashnikko and everything about this album. Thank you for the interview and the brilliant album! ❤

[@deadxclown3784]

Love the album so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@illuminach8279]

Ash is so inspiring and kind

[@Sleepyhead_037]

She has the most calming speaking voice ever, that's so unexpected and amazing 😂

[@michaeltyler6635]

I love the concept on this album she tells such a unique story and idea and just the visuals and everything I love ash🤍💙

[@isthatpreminger2236]

I recently had someone follow me home (I live with 7 other people, including a 3yo) and it was petrifying and truly like a horror movie, but listening to this album has helped me work through the fear and anger that came with me wanting to go out the next day (Still in tears at that point btw) and hunt that arrogant fifty some year old man who forced me to feel so violent. He still lives in my town wit his big boy twuck and I worry I'll see him again, but I just have to remind myself that everything that happened that night was not preventable by me and that man is the only one to blame for his own foul behavior.

[@LavishMindset__]

Thank you for this!

[@manuelazoratto]

I love this human being so much. Thank you for giving us broken souls a safe place to rest and repair

[@shnicoley]

you make me sick is so badass its the only song on weedkiller I blame because its so your own. I love that for you. I dont think this album sounds as fluent as demidevil. Im not a fan persay, but I have heard your albums a few times and your music videos. and your Coachella performance and how much the crowd ate it up. they liiivved. and believe it or not thats why I took a second glance. she seemed to enjoy herself more on demidevil. my two cents.
