Putting some space between himself and the computer which provided the basis for so much of his recent work, Marc Bianchi took 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 his vocal storytelling. 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.

Recording as Her Space Holiday since 1996, Marc Bianchi creates sugarcoated dreamscapes floating alongside bitter-sweet narratives of life. He’s been featured in many of the industry’s top music magazines including Spin, Mojo and DJ, and has toured with some of the world’s top indie acts including Bob Mould, Bright Eyes, Arab Strap and The Faint. Always up for a challenge, Bianchi’s sound has morphed with every release, proving he is equally comfortable with intricate sampling and drum programming as he is building a track using live instruments and percussion. From his early output with NYC’s TigerStyle, his releases for London’s Wichita Recordings, and his work with Mush Records, Marc Bianchi’s constant evolution as a songwriter and arranger continues to enchant.
