mp3: Her Space Holiday - "Black Cat Balloons" One of the great oversights of 2011 by moi has not been posting this song sooner. That was stupid. Because every instance this song pops on iTunes, I'm like "who and what is that again?" Because this isn't the Her Space Holiday that you've known in the past-the meandering electronic experiment that sounded like a vintage Simon slammed over a xylophone. No, this has an indelible pop hook and a joyous chorus. In fact, all of the songs do. This is the last album from [...]
Marc Bianchi retires Her Space Holiday with an overwrought album of cartoonishly bouncy, bubbly songs about death. Imagine a Country Bear Jamboree performance that ends with all of the bears putting shotguns in their mouths. That's Her Space Holiday in a grizzly nutshell. Her Space Holiday's Marc Bianchi has always been a little preoccupied with death. One of his earliest albums was named Home Is Where You Hang Yourself so it's no surprise that Bianchi's self-titled final album as Her Space Holiday is more obsessed with mortality than ever. The following is a partial list of words [...]

I always appreciate a proper introduction to an album, one that somehow grasps the feeling of what you are about to experience while emanating mystery and excitement. “Massive Expressive Enter” is a beautiful gatekeeper into this nine tracked moniker recording of the multi talented Mark Bianchi. Bianchi is one of the few “indie electronic” artists out there, a genre I have come to fully appreciate after I figured out what the hell it is. Listeners are then exposed to “Lydia” which features subtle and sexy male and female harmonious whispers that surf along the electromagnetic beats. Her [...]
Photo by Zuzana Mitosinkova After a decade of crafting catchy, dreamy, electro-pop tunes, multi-instrumentalist Marc Bianchi is putting his Her Space Holiday moniker to rest. It's like an undodgeable punch to the gut for those of us who have grown up on his work. Sure, the tattooed, awkward-looking musician hasn't always knocked it out of the park with his releases, but he sure made a dent in my

How many musicians can you cram into a farmhouse recording studio in Bastrop, Texas? Quite a few if you’re a prolific artist and remixer, who clearly enjoys collaboration, such as Marc Bianchi. The special guests listing for this valedictory ‘Her Space Holiday’ album is a cast of thousands – or at least tens – with performances by members of City Light, Kling, Silver Swans, Mice Parade and Via Tania. The proximity of nearby musical haven Austin, where Bianchi now resides, has clearly had an influence. A goodbye feast for fans, this eponymous record is intended, according to Bianchi, [...]
With confessional songs like “The Luxury of Loneliness” and “Home Is Where You Hang Yourself”, Her Space Holiday has always been very much Marc Bianchi’s cathartic solo project. Naturally, then, the first song on his project-titled LP opens with “She tells me that time/Will heal all our wounds/She shows me the scar/Where the arrow went through.” But the ensuing cacophony of voices, drum crashes (courtesy of Bianchi's former Indian Summer bandmate, Eyad Kaileh), flutes, violins, and horns seems uncharacteristic, to say the least. Despite the plethora of guest artists and novel sounds, Her Space Holiday reveals the [...]
Thanks to Her Space Holiday's Marc Bianchi for guest editing our website all week. Be sure to check out HSH's new (and final) self-titled album. Here’s a video for LP track "Anything For Progress," recorded as the first installment of the Lost In Austin Take Away series.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars It seems like just yesterday that Marc Bianchi began his Her Space Holiday career, when in fact it was 15 years ago. Finally, the sun is setting on the project, and with this close, Marc's releasing his final album with the moniker, Her Space Holiday . It's perhaps his most complete work, leaving us all with one final album, but so many memories. "Anything for Progress" begins with a soft-spoken Bianchi singing over light instrumentation; it's [...]
This week's release of Her Space Holiday's 10-track, self-titled album marks the end of the one-man musical project that Marc Bianchi started back in 1996. Fittingly, HSH's final album is also the first on the Austin-based Bianchi's No More Good Ideas label. While he has some live dates set to support the LP, the genre-defying [...]
