We have been fans of the uber-talented singer-songwriter and producer Her Space Holiday aka Marc Bianchi since he released his 2001 opus Manic Expressive–a quintessential bedroom style pop album, that mixed warm, grandiose harmonies and spacey arrangements with electronic flourishes. Some may even credit it as helping to set the stage for such bands as The Postal Service. Since that acclaimed release, he has been quietly releasing EPs and searching to find his new sound.

Now with the impending release of XOXO, Panda, and the New Kid Revival he has re-invented his songwriting and given it a more down to earth, jangly vibe. Case in point, the song “Sleepy Tigers” is the first single from the album and it is an irresistibly catchy and dynamic piece of bouncy pop! Check it out!

XOXO, Panda, and the New Kid Revival is due out 10/7 on Mush Records.
