| Californian Marc Bianchi has been making music as Her Space Holiday for over a decade. The New Kid Revival sees a merger with another of his monikers, and for the foreseeable future he’ll apparently be making music as xoxo, panda. Revival is less electronic and more free and organic than Bianchi’s previous body of work. Here he assembles a primary school classroom collection of instruments – banjos, clapping, tambourines and xylophones – and combines them with an unassuming, whimsical touch. The looped, layered snares of Her Space Holiday have been augmented by light-hearted melodies and lovely pop harmonies. And this low fi approach is also reflected in the album’s wry song names, like ‘Sleepy Tigers’ and ‘This Seat is Definitely Taken’. Scout the web for Bianchi’s video project of the same name if you’re suitably enamored. - Oyster Magazine |
