After living in Austin for nearly three years, Marc Bianchi moved into a little house in the middle of nowhere in Northern California and began recording this release. In extreme isolation and creative re-evaluation, the content of Her Space Holiday's sound and meaning became much broader than previous works. Short stories starring characters have replaced short-sided, one person perspectives. Rather than feeling like you're looking into the life of one songwriter, the listener walks away with a sense of ge   [ read more ]

While fans expected a blast of noise from her space holiday, they instead received a quiet assault of sincerity and minimalism. Marc Bianchi used her space holiday as a vehicle for him to explore the more intimate elements   [ read more ]

Marc Bianchi creates sugarcoated dreamscapes floating alongside bittersweet narratives of life. On this release, loose and carefree arrangements of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, shakers, glockenspiel, and drums lay the foundation for vocal storytelling sing-alongs. From his early output with NYC's Tiger Style, his releases for London's Wichita, and his work with Mush, Bianchi's constant evolution as a songwriter and arranger continues to enchant.
