Anika

Choose life, choose Football Manager.

Sold my Ilmiö ticket and hence staying in playing computer games and listening to recent downloads. After listening through Anika's album from last year, can't say I'm too disappointed with my decision - the best album I've heard in a year or so. Or perhaps it was the rubbish Tiga gig last night at Turku Modern that makes Anika sound so good.

Before she began her singing career, Anika was a political journalist who spent her time between Berlin and Bristol, England. She met producer Geoff Barrow (of Portishead), who was looking for a female vocalist to work with his band Beak>. Anika joined the band in the studio and recorded nine songs, including a cover of Yoko Ono’s "Yang Yang" in 12 days with no overdubs.

And don't worry, I'll be heading to Turku Modern soon for evening 2..
