Less holistic and more tactile than UFOF, Two Hands is easily the band’s most driving and brightly
melodic album yet. Their most accessible release while still maintaining the enigmatic edge the band has
become known for, and possibly Lenker’s best vocal performance, make this more than a pleasant sister album;
it’s a substantial set of great songs that can definitely stand on its own two feet.

Two Hands is of course carried by Adrianne Lenker, with the rest of the band desperately trying to come up with interesting musical propositions (they manage to do so on the amazing "Not").

Not as good as their other 2019 album, but it is still solid enough

Decent album, but not as consistent as its predecessors. The emotion is still there, but I find the writing on here flat at times. The highlight of the record would definitely be "Not", for sure one of Big Thief's best songs.

"Not" is an amazing song. There's just something so perfect and simple about it. I wish the album was more like this.

The more immediate of the two Big Thief albums this year and thanks to Lenker's emotionally gripping vocal performances my favourite.

The song "Not" is great, playlist worthy but sadly is the only song I can recommend on this album. I wish more of this album was of that caliber.

What is so wonderful about Two Hands is the ability, without apprehension, to deliver music so free that it constantly breaks conventional laws and automatisms like punk. Unlike the one that was more vaporous, more atmospheric, this one is more down to earth thanks to the way each track is written and interpreted but also in the way this music is produced and created. It's amazing, you get 39 minutes of happiness, with mastodon tracks like Not, Two Hands or The Toy to name a few. The success of this album is also explained by the intimate side of the subjects and human questions that brings reflection in addition to entertainment. For me it's at the same level as UFOF, it's so cruel to have to make a choice between one and the other. Unquestionably Big Thief has just broken the "glass ceiling", by proposing the same year 2 fantastic works of art that will undoubtedly travel through the decades through the traces they leave, through the future artists. To conclude, with these multiple results so rare, I would add that Big Thief already deserves in advance the merit of being in my opinion: the best band/artist of this year 2019.

i just don't get it I guess. This is pretty good but I'm done trying to force myself to get into this band

'Not' is fucking fantastic. One of the best songs of the decade.

I want to live in that title track. UFOF is better, but only by a slight margin. But the title track is easily their best song.
