about

In the Book of Job, a pious man is tested by a petty God, the purest expression of grief in the face of the unjust. The improvised pieces in HAND LIKE GOD capture these same moments of grief, when one voices their own pain, they are able to hear it spoken for the first time.

This is the singer-songwriter companion to October's instrumental Bloodletting, played on the banjo, and contains an intimacy and intent that's drawn me to Wendy's music — to unravel and tangle an idea until it takes form. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/vikings-choice-to-bandcamp-friday-nov-2021/ Lars Gotrich

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
