Hand Habits - what lovers do

On placeholder, the second album from Meg Duffy’s Hand Habits, the singer/songwriter orbits a stinging absence, ruminating on the ephemeral nature of emotional attachment.

Characters pass through placeholder like silhouettes on the horizon; as Duffy watches them go, these songs weave narratives around the space they leave behind.

What’s a love story with only half the cast? A plaintive consideration of the ways people shape each other, even in disappearance.
