"I discovered Deborah Holland through her work as singer/songwriter for the late, lamented Animal Logic. But it turns out that she really shines as a solo performer. Her sound is now a bit more, well, folk-y (for lack of a better term), but with the same great feel for melody and introspectively ironic lyrics. The intimate settings and sparse instrumentation perfectly suit her songs and her marvelous voice. Do yourself a favor and take a chance on Deborah Holland."

Some of Deborah's best work

"With a voice that stands out, Deborah Holland survived the demise of Animal Logic, whose single, "There's a Spy (in the House of Love)" got airplay long after the group was gone. Her solo work is softer than Animal Logic, but it showcases her voice that much better. Her lyrics are still often filled with intelligent, ironic twists and double entendres, which are at least as enjoyable as her voice. "If the end of the world is coming... just tell the gardener he can bill us...". Still awaiting the "next" Deborah Holland release. In the interim, "Book of Survival" has not left the CD changer in my car! It's a pleasure to listen to repeatedly!"
