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 |
| Check out this really nice new track from Her Space Holiday, "Sleepy Tigers." It’s a happy, folksy track with lots of tambourine and hand clapping, reminding us a lot of one our favorite groups (unfortunately no longer with us!) Kite Flying Society. The track is taken from his new album XOXO, Panda and the New Kid Revival; the album marks a bit of a departure for Her Space Holiday, who’s known in the past for using lots of computer effects and electronic production. We haven’t given the album a real chance yet, but from the gleaning we’ve done, it’s full of folksy pop ditties similar to "Sleepy Tigers." - Kickin' The Peanuts |
