Ashnikko Album Review: WEEDKILLER

(Parlophone/Warner Records)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

It's rare that someone's debut album is a concept record, though if anyone were to successfully on first pass navigate the murky waters between establishing a fictional narrative and making a larger statement about humanity as a whole, it would be trap metal singer-songwriter and rapper Ashnikko. On WEEDKILLER, a fairy civilization has been destroyed by machines, and the protagonist essentially becomes part machine in order to uproot the system from within. You can immediately see parallels to the crises of our time, from climate change to the legislative war on people with uteruses and LGBTQ+ folks; Ashnikko doesn't suggest to either burn it all down or incrementally pick battles, instead focusing on their own emotions to elicit empathy. It works to cement both their imperfections and wants.

Fittingly, some of the best songs on WEEDKILLER are about desire, especially queer desire. The Daniela Lalita-featuring erotica of "Super Soaker" skitters to corporeal heights. "Don't Look At It" is less spiritual, more physical, Ashnikko comparing themselves to Tony Hawk as they're "doin' tricks until my tongue hurt." "Miss Nectarine" details Ashnikko's childhood friend who they'd make out with to "practice for the boys," Ashnikko developing unrequited feelings. "The bruise of bein' fourteen / Got chlorine in our hair, my jaw is shaking in my mouth," they sing, the warbly auto-tune an effective window into their emotional volatility. And "Possession of a Weapon", written after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, effectively alternates between anger and mournful acceptance. "How dare I have private desires?" Ashnikko asks, at the same time realistically and sadly comparing their own body to a chess piece in a game played by lawmakers, their autonomy as strong against oppressive rain as papier-mâché.

Ashnikko has been making music for almost a decade and releasing it for over half that time, so they've certainly established somewhat of a visual and sonic identity. WEEDKILLER doesn't upend what they'd been exploring on their EPs and debut mixtape DEMIDEVIL, but it's certainly their most cohesive statement yet. The title track and "World Eater" form not just the conceptual but musical base for the whole album, a conglomerate of trap beats, cascading synths, and power chords. "Worms", in which Ashnikko makes the best of their own decomposition within a post apocalyptic-world, features surprisingly limber bars and inventive rhyme schemes, as they declare, "Brand-new day, got a brand-new grin / Got a colony of ants underneath my skin / My bones decay, now I'm gelatin / I swear I'm better, Miss Parasite Possessor." From nu metal jams with metallic, clanging percussion to obvious, but successful Britney and Rihanna tributes, Ashnikko fulfills the promising pop dexterity they merely hinted at on previous releases.

And then there's "Dying Star", which takes another sonic left-turn and perhaps hints at where Ashnikko could go next. Featuring gothic Americana troubadour Ethel Cain, Ashnikko finds an aesthetic nestled somewhere in between the hyper-aggression of the rest of WEEDKILLER and Cain's slow-burning epics. The two harmonize, over repeatedly echoing guitar strums and bass lines, Ashnikko at one point singing, "I want something soft." After an album's worth of diss tracks and feelings bursting at the seams, they finally let themselves be vulnerable.

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “Angel Face” by Tim Andrews & Paul Korda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPTviPx3d8Y This “hippie noir” video is based on a record released in November 1968—some British blue-eyed soul on the same page as Motown, The Four Seasons, and The Grass Roots from America. “Angel Face” is from a series of singles featuring the Tim/Paul team. Tim (real name Chris) already had notoriety as lead vocalist/guitarist in the psychedelic bands Les Fleur de Lys (“Mud in Your Eye”) and Rupert’s People (“Reflections of Charles Brown”), but managers and Parlophone Records encouraged Tim to break out as a solo act, even marketing him as a “teen idol.” He was partnered with the multi-talented Paul Korda, on the rise as a producer, singer-songwriter, and actor who was in the original London cast of the musical HAIR and later appeared in major films (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, SPINAL TAP)—Paul went on to work with Roger Daltrey, Love Sculpture, and Frankie Valli while Tim/Chris went on as a solo + collaborating with Daltrey, David Essex and Davy Jones (Monkees).

Paul produced this track with orchestration by Cy Payne (whose eclectic resume included the anthemic hit “United We Stand” by Brotherhood of Man). The exuberant drumming was by session legend Clem Cattini. Recording took place at Abbey Road Studio 2, where Chris and Paul were invited to listen in on Beatles’s "white album" sessions next door in Studio 1. The exuberant and well-performed “Angel Face” is a great piece of mod-era Britpop that stands the test of time.
