“Singer, songwriter and guitarist from Upstate New York
Meg Duffy, aka Hand Habits, has been putting in her time
on the road and in the studio over the past two years with
Pacific Northwest band Mega Bog, and the Kevin Morby
Band, making an impression on everyone she comes across
with her natural charisma and uncharted talent as a multiinstrumentalist.
But let Wildly Idle (Humble Before The
Void) be her open invitation to the world to step inside and
take a much deeper look into who Duffy actually is.
“Tracked in an Upstate New York living room, then finished
in her current home in Los Angeles, this album was
recorded by Meg herself; she has an acute ear for detail,
has touched every corner, has seen every vision ’til its end.
Because of this, Wildly Idle feels incredibly intimate, like
a secret between her and the listener. It hits soft, like warm
water all around you, a bath, and before you know it Meg’s
whisper has made its way inside you. Meg has music in her
touch, and this, like many bedroom-debuts (Microphones,
Jessica Pratt, Little Wings, Grouper) is only the beginning.
But let us not look to the future now, and instead stand
alongside her, our trust in her will, both humble before the
void, with her first chorus as the mission statement: Hold
you like a flower, hold you like an hour glass.”
