Stereogum's 50 Best Albums Of 2019
For many of us, 2019 has been a year of flux — politically, culturally, professionally, personally. It’s hard to envision what the future might bring since the recent past has shown us that we don’t know half the things we thought we knew. In unsteady times, music can be a balm and also a mirror. And a lot of the best music of the year responded, in one way or another, to that constant uncertainty.

Music has always been a vast universe to explore, and that sense of the unconquerable infinite has only intensified in an age of on-demand streaming and easily accessible recording equipment.

So in a sense attempting to sum up the best music in a given timeframe is a fool’s errand.
