Gleaning a decade’s worth of song in 2019 feels like sifting sand with a hula hoop, the enormity of the ever-accumulating archive sluicing through our woefully inadequate tools, its elusive pith elementally, stubbornly incompatible with the implements of capture at hand. Sometimes the most pyrrhic ventures prove the most gratifying. Join us as we explore the music that helped define the decade for us. We are celebrating the end of the decade through lists, essays, and mixes.
