MH-260 Her Space Holiday - XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival  Putting some space between himself and the computer that has provided the basis for so much of his recent work, Marc Bianchi has taken the last two years to focus on what got him into music in the first place, writing connective songs and working out the layers of sound he hears in his head. The results are a new persona, XOXO, Panda, and the reinforcement of the feelings of personal and artistic freedom that drive his music. Loose and carefree arrangements of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, shakers, glockenspiel, and drums lay the foundation for vocal storytelling sing-a-longs. XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival is a brilliant calling card for Her Space Holiday’s newly awakened alter-ego, and a watershed moment in his growth as a songwriter and performer. |

| Reviews Summary |
| Guitar pop songs that are as charming as they are simple - Rolling Stone / The fact that he can switch up styles so frequently and make solid records says something special about Bianchi - Pop Matters / His melodies have that wonderful undefinable quality that makes you want to hear them over and over again... Killer indie pop cuts - Babysue |
| Marc Bianchi's known for being an indie-tronic master who relies on a computer for sufficient amounts of his songwriting. But the California-born producer took a left turn with this one and tossed the machine aside, choosing instead to rely on folks-style jams and organic percussion. While those who enjoyed Bianchi's electronic/acoustic blend probably won't dig this new sound, those who simply know and like him for being an adept songwriter will enjoy visiting another musical side of this artist. - XLR8R |
