Meg Duffy, aka Hand Habits, is a singer, songwriter and guitarist hailing from Upstate New York. Currently based in Los Angeles, California, Hand Habits has gained recognition for their captivating musical style.
Inspired by artists such as Bedouine, Anna St. Louis, and Angelo De Augustine among others, Hand Habits crafts introspective and emotive songs that resonate with listeners. Their unique blend of folk and indie rock creates a mesmerizing sonic experience.
With influences ranging from Sharon Van Etten to Bill Callahan, Hand Habits' music delves into themes of self-discovery, love, and personal growth. Their heartfelt lyrics combined with their exceptional guitar skills make for an unforgettable live performance.

Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

Hand Habits, the project of Los Angeles-based musician Meg Duffy (they / them), announce a new collection of songs titled Sugar The Bruise via Fat Possum. Inspired by month-long songwriting class Duffy taught in the summer of 2021, they re-discovered, with newfound clarity, the generative capacity of embracing the unknown, and how essential collaboration and improvisation are for accessing the indescribable. Working with Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic, Art Feynman) and Philip Weinrobe (Adrienne Lenker, Cass McCombs), Duffy surrendered to the present moment, trusting that whatever sounds and words emerged were meant to emerge. With additional production, engineering and arranging from Jeremy Harris, Duffy created something which, in their words, “turned out nothing like I’d imagined it would.”The result of this collective experiment, born equally from play and intention, is a radical gift
for listeners: proof that our most vital processes, creation and destruction, are exquisitely
entangled. The unanswerable and untenable suffering of experience is the fact of perpetual
loss. And, yet, there is precious, vivid magic created by this condition. In Sugar the Bruise,
grief folds in on itself and becomes laughter; language fades away into sonic expanses of
the inexpressible; melodies melt into cacophonies; love songs surrender to loss; historic
violence is supplanted by the disks of sunlight.
