Comments: From the promoter: "There is always a hint of menace and reservoirs of force haunting the corners of Eliza Rickman's voice, whatever register it occupies... [On] her newest effort, Footnotes for the Spring... Rickman's vocal delivery has also developed a new breathlessness. She wrote all the string arrangements on her debut, but friend Jason Webley produced and orchestrated Footnotes. Here, Rickman's voice casts its shadow against Webley's shimmering strings and a Phil Spector-style wall of sound, flecked with melancholy and nostalgia... RIYL: Amanda Palmer, Kate Bush, Jason Webley, Rufus Wainwright, Rasputina, Jherek Bischoff, Andrew Bird..."
