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. Like pages from a forgotten book, they open up universal questions and invite listeners to relate them to their own lives.

They explore themes such as longing for the unknown, transformation, devotion and the power of letting go. At the centre of her work is her powerful, emotional and unmistakable voice, framed by psychedelic and tender guitars, as well as orchestral or quiet string and organ arrangements.

Her songs do not rush toward resolution - they remain within the emotional weather of change. Or as Far Out Magazine aptly described it in 2019: “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.”

ANIQO recorded her first songs in Los Angeles in 2017 with musician Joe Cardamone (The Icarus Line), but released only a handful of them, held back by a fear of fully revealing herself. Still, her tracks quickly found an audience, including the indie-pop track ‘New Signs’ feat. Giant Drag singer Annie Hardy. Her music videos, including ‘Chess’, were also featured on the website of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Her first fully realised album followed several years later. Recorded in Berlin in 2020 with jazz and analogue recording specialist Guy Sternberg,

‘BIRTH’ was released in 2022 via SPRINGSTOFF and received international attention as well as outstanding reviews, including from Rolling Stone Germany, Clash and Wonderland.

IIn 2025, she released the stand-alone single The Call, alongside a remix by trip-hop legend Howie B, on the artist-run label La Double Vie. ANIQO is currently preparing the release of her forthcoming album EARTH, LOVE AND VARIATIONS, set to be released digitally and on vinyl on November 6. Produced with Bill Ryder-Jones in England in 2024 and 2025, the album marks a turn toward grounding, resilience and acceptance. It is an album for soft-strong hearts - about love in its seasons, elements and variations.

LOVE SUPREME’s music makes a lot of noise while just whispering. It dances, but it doesn’t stand straight, it dances in a messy fashion, like in the best works of poets such as Tom Watts, Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg, Charles Bukowski or Richard Brautigan. It does so with a rare and distinctive style, mixing the most elegant allure with the worst of hangovers.
