Top 10 Songs of 2019 - No. 7, Big Thief



Sunn O)))) wasn't the only band to release two albums in 2019 - Brooklyn's Big Thief released UFOF early this year and then Two Hands a little later this year.  Two Hands got a 9.0 Best New Music score from Pitchfork.  The album's stand-out song, Not, was NPR's No. 1 best song of 2019 and Paste Magazine's 75th best song of the entire 2010s.  With two near-perfect albums released this year, this was clearly not only the Year on the Woman, but more specifically the Year of Adrianne Lenker and Big Thief.

Runner-Up/For Your Consideration:  While Not was the standout song of the Two Hands album, the titular song was the standout of the earlier UFOF.
