Today, Meg Duffy — the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter known as Hand Habits — announces their new album Blue Reminder, out August 22 via Fat Possum Records.

The album's lead single, “Wheel of Change,” also dropped today alongside a video directed by Otium, which you can watch below.

“Both lyrically and in its production, this song is about the impossibility of return—you can’t go back to the way things were, no matter how much you might want to hold on to a time, or a feeling, or a person,” Duffy explains. “Lyrically there’s a kind of desperation (“I need it now more than ever”), but in it there’s also a request, “don’t take it away just yet,” which is not a question but a demand, and I wanted the production to reflect that. That in longing, there can be this sharper, wild edge. Like, no I need this, give it to me, don’t take it away."

The upcoming LP was recorded in Los Angeles with co-producer Joseph Lorge and features contributions from Alan Wyffels, Gregory Uhlmann, Olivia Kaplan, Blake Mills, Tim Carr, Daniel Aged, Joshua Johnson, and Anna Butterss.

Hand Habits has also announced a North American fall tour in support of Blue Reminder. They also have shows in support of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Japanese Breakfast, and Perfume Genius. Pre-sales begin tomorrow, with general on-sale starting Friday, June 6 at 10am local time.
