Hand Habits, the project of Los Angeles-based artist Meg Duffy, has announced a new record titled Sugar the Bruise. The six-track collection is out June 16 via Fat Possum, and its first single, ‘Something Wrong’, is out today. Check it out below.
Sugar the Bruise, the follow-up to Hand Habits’ 2021 LP Fun House, was made with Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic, Art Feynman) and Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Cass McCombs). It was inspired by a month-long songwriting class Duffy taught in the summer of 2021. “For Sugar the Bruise, I had no plan other than to let my mind go blank, and lean into the playful side of things,” Duffy explained in a statement. “To laugh a little, to lighten up, to shift the focus off of my own experience a bit.”
