A Berlin band that carved out a space between ethereal indie and melancholic folk.
For the full Habitants mood, start with 'Morgen' and 'The Wake'. That's their sound in a nutshell.
Habitants matter because they built a loyal following for their particular kind of introspective songwriting, the kind that shows up in tracks like 'Vince' and 'Winter'. Their music settled into that space between ethereal indie and melancholic folk, and they stayed there, working within their established sound rather than chasing reinvention. It's the sound of a band that knew what they did well.
They formed in Berlin around 2004, with singer-songwriter Michael Loesch and guitarist Carsten Witte at the center. Their debut album 'Morgen' came out in 2007, followed by 'Von Wegen' in 2010 and 'Heimwärts' in 2013. The lineup also included bassist Johannes Abel and drummer Arne Zank.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
