Hand Habits

Known for their intricate texturing, Meg Duffy has managed to build a reputation as a session musician and touring guitarist for numerous singer/songwriters while becoming equally recognized for their personal songwriting outlet, Hand Habits. Begun as a home-recorded solo venture, dreamy, delicately textured guitar songs first surfaced on a split EP in 2014. Hand Habits had expanded into a band by the time of the project's second album, 2019's Placeholder, and two years later, the SASAMI-produced Fun House combined Duffy's reflective folk-leaning instincts with elements of synth pop and dance-rock. The multifaceted musician continued to play with texture on 2025's collaborative Blue Reminder.A native of upstate New York based in Los Angeles, Duffy's first release as Hand Habits was the split EP Small Shifts/Living with Abbreviation with the band Peg. It was released on Eschatone Records in early 2014. Duffy spent several months over the next couple of years backing West Coast-based songwriters Kevin Morby and Mega Bog (Erin Birgy) on tour. As a guitarist, Duffy also played on albums by Weyes Blood and Amber Arcades that saw release in 2016. Later that year, Hand Habits signed with the Woodsist label, home of albums by Morby, Little Wings, and Real Estate, to name a few. Titled Wildly Idle (Humble Before the Void), Hand Habits' self-produced debut arrived on the label in early 2017. That year, Duffy also contributed slide guitar to the War on Drugs' album A Deeper Understanding and performed multiple instruments on Morby's City Music. Defining the project as a group instead of a solo alias, Hand Habits returned in 2019 with a fuller but still intimate sound on Placeholder, issued on Saddle Creek Records. Duffy's other credits that year included playing electric guitar on William Tyler's Goes West, an album that also featured Bill Frisell. After a 2020 Hand Habits collaboration with Jess Williamson, they returned with Dirt EP in February 2021. In the meantime, Duffy played guitar on albums by Morby, Vagabon, and Sylvan Esso, among others.Hand Habits' third album, Fun House, followed on Saddle Creek before the end of 2021. Produced by SASAMI (Sasami Ashworth) and engineered by King Tuff's Kyle Thomas, it put synths, strings, and even dance beats into play. Hand Habits then made their Fat Possum debut with the June 2023 EP Sugar the Bruise. That year, Duffy also teamed up with fellow guitarist Gregory Uhlmann (SML) for Doubles, an instrumental album issued on Orindal Records in September 2023. Duffy remained busy as a guitarist and vocalist on the greater music scene, also turning up on albums by everyone from claire rousay and Hiss Golden Messenger to Matt Berninger and Perfume Genuis.They recorded their next Hand Habits album in Los Angeles with co-producer Joseph Lorge (Perfume Genius, Phoebe Bridgers, Feist). Largely tracked live, Blue Reminder continued to explore texture alongside personal songwriting, this time with contributions from Blake Mills, Uhlmann, and additional SML members Josh Johnson and Anna Butterss, among others. It was released on Fat Possum in August of 2025.
