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. |

| Taking the past two years to get back to his musical roots must have been good for Her Space Holiday mastermind Marc Bianchi, because his new Mush release XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival sounds like he’s having an awful lot of fun. Blogcritics says, "'The Boys and Girls' just might be the best pop song you'll hear all year." Stepping back from the computer that’s been such a huge part of Bianchi's Her Space Holiday career has made room for him to experiment with loose and carefree arrangements of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, shakers, glockenspiel, and drums – all of which lay the foundation for his vocal storytelling. 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. - The Daily Rind |
