The 15-track album is a rebellious one, made from a place of radical joy at a time when the world has never felt more threatening for femmes and marginalized communities. In response, Ashnikko is taking up space by inhabiting a state of pure play. It&rsquo;s absurd and grotesque, explicit and tender, sexy without an ounce of desire to perform for the male gaze.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">Don&rsquo;t miss the chaotic, candy-coated pop disruptor Ashnikko live show next September!&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><u><strong>IMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION</strong></u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://mg.live/termsofsale">https://www.mg-live.com/termsofsale</a></p>
