"Following in the steps of her lauded 2003 basement-tapes Catalpa and 2004's studio-debut Escondida, the new album takes Holland's sepia-toned, song noir to a transcendent level. Springtime's 12 track song-cycle is a crossroads where haunting meets joyful -- a voice from the heavens singing stories of the underworld. Holland's songs rise and fall like heavy eyelids and convey the peace of that place between asleep and awake, creating a special place for you to be. There, sounds from past and present-tense waltz together to a never-ending melody that flickers between folk, jazz, blues and pop. Holland's lyrics conjure characters and situations one might find in the surrealistic celluloid of Jim Jarmusch. As with all good dreams, there is an anything-goes spirit leading the way. Its this level of bravado that prompted All Music Guide to describe Holland's sound as 'a listening experience that is singular, startling, and soulful.'"
