Anika is the debut studio album by British/German recording artist Anika. It was released on 25 October 2010 by Invada Records in Europe and on 15 November 2010, by Stones Throw Records in the United States. The three members of the band Beak (Geoff Barrow, Billy Fuller and Matt Williams) produced the album.

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...

The album received generally favorable reviews. It earned a collective score of 65 out of 100 from Metacritic...David Edwards, writing for Drowned in Sound, described the album as an "unhinged record that isn’t easy to look squarely in the eye. But the reward is in the depth and sheer bewilderment of every single creak, croak and crackle." - Wikipedia

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

#BobDylan #MastersOfWar

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm damn sure you're dead*

– last stanza of Masters of War, Bob Dylan

*I can't find the version with this small, but impactful, lyric change I heard from a pirated anti- Bush/Iraq War compilation album back in the 00's I downloaded on a previous computer
