Hand Habits Announces Tour Dates and Sugar the Bruise, Shares New Song: Listen
Hand Habits has announced a new six-track collection. The EP, Sugar the Bruise, is out June 16 via Fat Possum. Hand Habits has also shared the first single from the collection, “Something Wrong.” Listen below.
Sugar the Bruise follows Hand Habits’ 2021 album, Fun House, and they co-produced it with Luke Temple. The same year as Fun House’s release, Hand Habits led a month-long songwriting class at School of Song, which provided the fodder for their next record.
“For Sugar the Bruise, I had no plan other than to let my mind go blank, and lean into the playful side of things,” Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy wrote in a statement about the project. “To laugh a little, to lighten up, to shift the focus off of my own experience a bit.”
