Habitants combines alternative dreampop, shoegaze and dark wave into a unique sound, imbued with a dark, dreamy 80’s atmosphere reminiscent of iconic 4AD bands such as Cocteau Twins and Slowdive. In early November, the five-piece dove into the Muziekgieterij studio for a Heaven Session, including a good chat with Heaven editor Ludo Diels. Frontwoman Anne van den Hoogen talked to him about the new album ‘Alma,’ inner voices, classical music on the tour bus and much more.
