Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Guardian
Audacious and explicit, Ashton Casey fulfils all the hype on this playful, genre-surfing set.
-
Pitchfork
The 24-year-old alt-pop rapper showcases her newly refined confidence, taking a step toward the pop powerhouse she’s capable of becoming.
-
NME
A debut album proper in all but name, in fact, ‘Demidevil’ shows that Ashnikko’s far more than a two-trend wonder – with a tank full of intriguing bangers that evade living under ‘Daisy’s formidable shadow.
-
DIY Magazine
Ten tracks of orgasm-loving, empowering anthems, that pack a punch musically as well as lyrically.
-
Sputnik Music
Demidevil is twenty-five minutes long. I will never listen to it again. Album of the year.
-
PopMatters
Demidevil is poised to keep Ashnikko relentlessly populating the feed in 2021 with some impressively strong new bangers.
-
The Line of Best Fit
There’s a lot of pressure in dropping your debut collection proper, and Ashnikko appears to have drawn the short end of the stick.

DEMIDEVIL definitely fits into being one of those projects where the main benefactor behind them is the artist themselves. I feel that at this stage, only somebody as bold as Ashnikko could have created something like this. Using her uniqueness to create a colourful, and borderline-psychedelic aesthetic, as well as implementing a very empowering feminist narrative into this debut mixtape.

RapReviews
It feels like the audio version of Madonna releasing a coffee table art book of her sexual exploits, and I’m not in any way judging you if you get off on that, but it’s just not my thing.
-
Red Roll
DemiDevil is a great collection added to Ashnikko’s belt. The album has several memorable and catchy choruses, but she also shows moments of sensitivity with “Cry” and “Good While It Lasted.”
-
The Needle Drop
Demidevil leaves quite some room for Ashnikko's debut album to improve, but does itself have some fun highlights.
-
Stereogum
She wouldn’t be believable as this maniacal character if she wasn’t pushing the boundaries of comfort and good taste, and a certain class of listener will surely relish the same gratuitous exploits that cause me to recoil. That livewire quality has me genuinely curious to find out what Ashnikko will do next. Let’s just hope it doesn’t involve dressing up as a sex organ.

Gigwise
DEMIDEVIL is definitely a grower, on first few listens it’s good at best...and you’re lying if you don’t feel completely enticed by concluding track ‘Clitoris the Musical.’
-
Vinyl Chapters
Demidevil, a bold, frank and entertaining record on so many levels.
-
The Pacer
The DemiDevil mixtape yanks you out of bed and tells you that you are a boss and the master of your own destiny. Blast this mixtape if you’ve ever had a horrible ex, a bad breakup or if you need a confidence boost.

Clash Magazine
Sheer exhilaration from start to finish.
