Ashnikko has never been afraid to speak her mind, and Demidevil, her new mixtape, is no exception. The release, which is effectively the artist’s debut album, brings together the trap-infused pop she’s best known for, with zippy one-liners (“I don’t need a man I need a rabbit,” she sings in “Deal With It”) and early-noughties throwbacks (there’s a R-rated cover of Avril Lavinge’s “S8er boi”). Previous tracks such as breakthrough single “Daisy” and Grimes collab, “Cry”, are punchy standouts, while “Slumber Party” is a fiercely feminist banger with a sapphic twist.

Elsewhere, London post-punk band Shame return with a rambunctious second album, London jazz experimentalist Robohands takes us to the 70s with his jazz and krautrock-infused library music, and Sleaford Mods’ Spare Ribs is a slapping dose of reality.
