MH-224 Her Space Holiday - The Young Machines  Change... love... death... infidelity... confession... a break up. Marc Bianchi is nearly surgical in his ability to slice delicate songs of love, loss, hope, despair, and optimism out of one very hard year. His striking new release as Her Space Holiday is The Young Machines, an authentic foray into intelligent dream-pop. The production is everything you have come to expect from Her Space Holiday; intricate string arrangements, analog synth patterns, lush guitar-like drones and tasteful drum programming abound, but it is the songwriting that elevates the album to its elite status. Traditional song structures take unexpected turns throughout, highlighting introspection and vulnerability most often missing in electronic music. The Young Machines is a ten-song encapsulation of a year on the edge and Her Space Holiday's most complete and personal release. |

| The Young Machines tells the story of love with an indietronic soundtrack. Like all stories of love, this one is filled with the greatest feelings that seem like they're never going to end. It has its ups and downs, asking, "is it really worth it?" Marc Bianchi sings of all the good and bad times of a first love while using an ever-changing electronic drumbeat. Her Space Holiday just fits like a well-worn shirt or a long-time girl's hand. This record has been played relentlessly through the halls of my apartment and is still holding its place as my favorite record of 2004. - BMX |
