Two Hands by Big Thief
Two Hands is an album by Big Thief, released in 2019. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Not”, on 15 lists with a best position of #6.
Two Hands, Big Thief's fourth album, came out on 4AD on October 11, 2019, only five months after U.F.O.F., and it was billed as that record's "earth twin". Where its sibling hovered, this one digs its heels into the dirt. Andrew Sarlo produced it, and the Brooklyn four-piece sounds close and physical: Adrianne Lenker's voice cracking and climbing, Buck Meek's guitar tangling with hers, Max Oleartchik on bass and James Krivchenia on drums keeping the floor from giving way.
"Not" is the storm at its center, a slow-building squall that frays into feedback, and it went out as a single ahead of the album along with "Forgotten Eyes". It later drew Grammy nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance.
