Anajo was a German indie pop band known for their melodic tunes and intelligent, often whimsical lyrics. Formed in 2000 in Augsburg, the band consisted of Oliver Gottwald (guitar and vocals), Michael Schmidt (bass), and Ingolf Nössner (drums). They enjoyed a loyal following in their home country, vividly painting day-to-day observations and emotional landscapes with a light yet poignant touch in their music.

Their catalog includes a series of well-received albums, culminating in several notable releases in the later years of their active period. The 2007 album "Hallo, wer kennt hier eigentlich wen?" showcased their capability for catchy pop anthems, while the follow-up "Anajo und das Poporchester" in 2009 saw the band expanding its sound with orchestral arrangements. After a period of creative output, the band members decided to part ways. Their album "Drei," released in 2011, served as a sign-off to their fans and a culmination of their distinctive style. Despite their disbandment, Anajo has left a lasting impression on the German indie music scene with a discography that continues to attract and delight new listeners with its enduring charm and witty songwriting.
