Description
“Wendy Lotterman is a scientist of feeling, here presenting discoveries with surgical precision. If it's true that 'no good thing can be saved from a three-legged relay with the bad,' then what forms the third leg? Maybe it's these cool, discomfiting lines, which invent a canny language for a 'weird, denuded universe' where 'the event postdates the mood it turned into.' The lyric mode of A REACTION TO SOMEONE COMING IN is intimate like an appendectomy is intimate, only your ex and your mom are watching, which definitely makes it better, even exquisite.”
