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. |

| This is dreamy, cathartic, cosmic-electro pop at its best. It deserves more than words, really. I feel like I should be romantically humming this review. Marc Bianchi (the man behind Her Space Holiday) presents us with ethereal strings, hushed guitars, and broken-hearted drum sounds that will tug at your gut instinct. Oh, and did I forget to tell you he sings poetry? His words will serenade you during one of those whimsical afternoons when all you feel like doing is sitting back idealizing love lost, lost jobs, and you feeling lost. Honestly, every song on this album is incredible, but "Sleepy California," "Japanese Gum," and "The Luxury of Loneliness" are perfection. After listening to The Young Machines, Marc Bianchi is SO my baby-daddy. - Jointz |
