Two Hands (LP)
Big Thief
Amoeba Review
07/28/2020
Big Thief is a songwriting powerhouse; Two Hands is their second release this year and the band sounds as strong as ever. In many ways, these songs are ideal for autumnal listening, with the band drawing listeners into a world that’s cozy and big-hearted, earthy and emotional. Even when moments of darkness sneak up on the listener (and there are plenty), there’s a reassuring quality to the melodies, a warmth to the band’s grappling with the more tumultuous aspects of life and love. Two Hands is like coming home, in all its fraught beauty and tenderness.
