About ANIQO

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. Her work moves between electronic dark pop, cinematic folk and experimental songwriting, defined by a strong emotional narrative, a distinctive ethereal voice and an uncompromising artistic vision.

Following the release of her critically acclaimed debut album BIRTH (SPRINGSTOFF, 2022), ANIQO received international media coverage from Rolling Stone, CLASH, Wonderland Magazine and taz, and performed at renowned festivals and showcases including Fusion Festival and Pop-Kultur Berlin.

ANIQO is currently entering a new artistic phase. Her latest single “The Call”, along a Remix created in collaboration with Howie B (Björk, Massive Attack), marks a shift towards a more spiritual, reduced and cinematic sound. 

Her upcoming second album Earth, Love and Variations, produced by Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral), is scheduled for release in November 2026. The new material is more organic and expansive, rooted in folk and cinematic art pop, and designed for an immersive live experience.

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
