Ashnikko 'Weedkiller' by Furmaan + Vasso
Rob Ulitski - 11th May 2023
Ashnikko is back in Furmaan + Vasso's extraordinary promo for Weedkiller, the title track from the long-awaited debut album.Â
Described as a "trans-dimensional fable, a folk-tech origin story of a birth, a death and a call to emergency in the face of evil," it's safe to say there are a lot of ideas going on, and the hyperactive blend of AI, performance and visual effects is brain-meltingly addictive to watch.Â
Tied together by the fae universe created by Ashnikko on the album, the video is cinematic, gritty and textural, with an overarching sci-fi vibe linking three distinct vignettes that makes the whole concept a true spectacle.Â
Marvellous work by Furmaan + Vasso - who also directed the impressive new Jess Glynne video - and proof that Ashnikko is one of the most exciting artists around today, musically and visually.
