Music like Anajo

Anajo (German pronunciation: [aˈnaːjo]) was an indie pop band from Augsburg, Germany that was active between 1999 and 2014. Consisting of Oliver Gottwald (vocals, guitar), Michael Schmidt (bass, keyboards) and Ingolf Nössner (drums), the band produced guitar pop with electronic sounds, these being more prominent in earlier recordings. Anajo's debut album was released in 2004 and the band went on to record three further albums, the most commercially successful reaching No. 51 in the German charts.

Anajo was formed in Augsburg in 1999 after school friends Oliver Gottwald and Michael Schmidt, who had both already had experience of playing in other bands, got in contact with drummer Ingolf Nössner via a local ad. The name of the band came about by accident while the band members were watching Italian-German film Banana Joe on a defective television, where the only part of the title that was visible was "ana Jo".
