About ANIQO

ANIQO is the musical project of Berlin- and Lisbon-based singer-songwriter and visual artist Anita Goß. Her songs move between dark art pop, spiritual folk and cinematic songwriting. At the centre of her work is her emotional and unmistakable voice, framed by psychedelic and tender guitars, orchestral textures, strings and organ arrangements. Her songs do not rush toward resolution - they remain within the emotional weather of change.

ANIQO recorded her first songs in Los Angeles in 2017 with Joe Cardamone. Only a handful were released, including the indie-pop track ‘New Signs’ feat. Annie Hardy of Giant Drag, while her music videos, such as ‘Chess’, were featured on the website of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Her first fully realised album, ‘BIRTH’, was recorded in Berlin in 2020 with jazz and analogue recording specialist Guy Sternberg and released in 2022. It received international attention and outstanding reviews from magazines such as Rolling Stone Germany, Clash and Wonderland. She also performed at renowned festivals and showcases including Fusion Festival and Pop-Kultur Berlin.

In 2025 ANIQO released the stand-alone single ‘The Call’ with a remix by Howie B on La Double Vie. She is currently preparing the release of her forthcoming album ‘EARTH, LOVE AND VARIATIONS’, produced with Bill Ryder-Jones in England in 2024 and 2025.
