Hand Habits has announced a new album. Blue Reminder, Meg Duffy's proper follow-up to 2021's Fun House, is out August 22 via Fat Possum. The record was recorded and co-produced by Joseph Lorge, and features contributions from Gregory Uhlmann, Blake Mills, Daniel Aged, and SML's Josh Johnson and Anna Butterss. Watch the Otium-directed music video for lead single 'Wheel of Change' below.
'Both lyrically and in its production, this song is about the impossibility of return—you can't go back to the way things were, no matter how much you might want to hold on to a time, or a feeling, or a person,' Duffy said of 'Wheel of Change' in a press statement. 'In longing, there can be this sharper, wild edge. Like, no I need this, give it to me, don't take it away.'
In 2023, Duffy shared the Hand Habits EP Sugar the Bruise and teamed up with Uhlmann as Duffy x Uhlmann to put out the instrumental Doubles. The singer and guitarist recently collaborated with the National's Matt Berninger on a song from his new solo LP, Get Sunk.
Duffy will head out on tour later this year. They have shows in support of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Japanese Breakfast, and Perfume Genius. See the tour dates below.
