 | | Holland’s songs rise and fall like heavy eyelids while sounds from past and present-tense waltz together to a never-ending melody that flickers between folk, jazz, blues and pop. |
 | | Holland admits its the first time she wrote songs specifically for an album and a band, saying, “I even wrote myself out of a few songs, so I could work solely as a singer.” To achieve Springtime’s lush sound in the studio, Holland and band recorded live to tape for much of the album. |
 | | When asked about the song-cycle aspect of the album, Holland says that she doesn’t want to beat people over the head with the concept of the album, saying “if you really listen, you will hear the threads of the song-cycle; crazy dreams, moonshine, mockingbirds...springtime can kill you. |
