Meg Duffy's first Hand Habits album was recorded alone at home in stolen moments between tours, while they were playing as part of Kevin Morby's backing band. It was a low-key affair -- humble, you might say, which was reflected in its title: Wildly Idle (Humble Before The Void). The album came across like an elongated sigh, written by a restless being longing for stasis. It's an album about decompressing in between stretches of chaos. It's sort of a "guitar record," in that Duffy is a virtuoso player and loves to geek out about gear and experiment with different tones, but Wildly Idle is also wonderfully meandering and interior, a great album to sit back and get lost in.
