Dec 4, 2019A genuine slow burner. Intimite, soothing and thrilling. An album to listen to time and time again. Standout tracks are Can’t calm down and Placeholder.

May 10, 2019The rousing, yet equally understated the book on how to change part II brings closure with a welcome luster, though it's not enough to salvage the album's soporific middle half.

Q MagazineMar 12, 2019With a singular perspective though, Hand Habits are in a lane of their own. [May 2019, p.111]

Mar 12, 2019placeholder is an album that never gets stuck but also never feels less than thoroughly cohesive. That is a hard trick to pull off and Hand Habits does it with consummate aplomb. It felt like Wildly Idle would be difficult, if not impossible, to follow, and placeholder feels similarly devastating and accomplished.
