In a quiet corner of New Orleans, where folk and DIY sensibilities merge, Sleep Habits crafts songs like heirlooms that are soft, delicate, and heavy with meaning. On Antique Mall, Alan Howard reflects on the weight of memory and the futility of trying to carry it all. Through mellow acoustic textures and atmospheric synths, the track captures a fragile in-between: where nostalgia lingers and growth insists on moving forward. Accompanied by a vintage-tinted music video, the song becomes a gentle reckoning with time, place, and personal mythology. Howard shares:
At the time I wrote this song, I was coming to terms with the fact that you can’t carry everything with you throughout your life
The track’s visuals invite viewers into an “I Spy” world of found objects and fading eras, encouraging quiet introspection as much as interaction. It's not just a lead single from the forthcoming EP Mourning Doves, it’s a soft rummaging through forgotten shelves and half-remembered moments. Out May 10 via Kiln Recordings, the upcoming EP draws influence from Patterson Hood’s Killers & Stars, weaving live instrumentation with vulnerable, near-whispered reflections. Until then, let us know your thoughts on “Antique Mall” and explore the quiet charm by following Sleep Habits on SPOTIFY, BANDCAMP, INSTAGRAM, and YOUTUBE.
