About ANIQO & BIRTH

ANIQO is the musical project of Berlin-based singer, composer, and poet Anita Goß. Her music moves between dark art pop, spiritual folk, and cinematic songwriting. With an intense voice, a clear artistic stance, and plenty of space for emotion, she creates sonic landscapes that resonate – sometimes fragile, sometimes resolute. Inspired by artists such as Nina Simone, Marianne Faithfull, Mitski, Sharon Van Etten, and David Bowie, ANIQO tells stories of inner transformation, the longing for light, and the strength found in letting go.

Following her internationally noted debut BIRTH (2022), ANIQO now stands at the beginning of a new artistic chapter. Her upcoming album Earth, Love and Variations is currently in the making in collaboration with Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral) in England and is set to be released in early 2026.

The album marks a departure from darkness and a turn toward clarity, spirituality, and hope – thematically dedicated to love in all its forms: from self-love as a foundation to universal love.

“The darkly subversive pop-Noire finds a challenging and rewarding vehicle in ANIQO and she’s not afraid to keep flipping her work on its head.”- Far Out Magazine

”With those Autumn nights incoming 'Fear' is the appropriate soundtrack, a piece of darkened psych-pop with a brooding edge.” - Clash Magazine

“ANIQO discovers the simple pleasures of life through an evocative soundscape, threaded with twinkling piano notes and a powerful base. Blending French romanticism within the track, ANIQO’s enchanting vocals carry us away from our insignificant worries and into an escape of elation.” - Wonderland Magazine

"At last, an album with true LP dramaturgy! (…) Her voice reaches both deep and high registers, and her album is emotionally multi-layered (...) ANIQO clearly has a penchant for the shadowy soundscapes of the ’80s." - Robert Mießner / taz – die Tageszeitung, 4/2
