Today, genre-blurring pop star Ashnikko (she/they) returns with a cutting-edge official video for new single “Worms”, the latest off her highly-anticipated debut album WEEDKILLER, coming June 2nd. Crafted as an artistic commentary on Earth’s environmental disaster and the rapid evolution of technology, the new video takes places within a Mad Max-esquédystopian universe as Ashnikko becomes part machine in order to battle against the titular robotic Weedkiller enemies. Check out the “Worms” video HERE.

About the video, director Ramen Djafari explains, “I wanted to create a vast world that stretches way beyond the bounds of this one music video, like there’s an abundance of stories waiting to be told. I indulged my love for creature design and developed dozens of individual characters, monsters, robots and a huge monster truck. It was important to me to bring the world around this album to life, with a richness that reflects the depth of the music and lyrics. Working with Ash and Vasso was a truly precious collaboration between artists, they supported and trusted my personal interpretation of the universe they created together. Looking back, I wish I could have spent more time in this world. I feel like this video barely scratches the surface of what I would love to create together with Ashnikko. Fingers crossed we’ll get another chance to collaborate in the future.”
