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 / That he can switch up styles so frequently and make solid records says something special about Bianchi - Pop Matters / Melodies have that wonderful undefinable quality that makes you want to hear them over and over... Killer indie pop cuts - Babysue |
| In the shadow of Bibio’s Vignetting The Compost full length album released on Mush Records on February 3, 2009, they went ahead with the release of a much anticipated EP, Ovals And Emeralds. This six track gem is nothing short of an instant classic. It is full of lush melody’s and little bits of nostalgic data from what feels like a world away. I bought the EP from iTunes as soon as I heard it was out. I popped it on a CD and sat in my backyard and gave it a full run-through. It was quite a beautiful day, which made it so much more enjoyable. The sounds packed into this six track nostalgic journey are some of the most moving I have ever heard. - Welcome To Your Life |
