Search - Her Space Holiday :: Young Machines

Brilliant and Beautiful

"With the loss of Elliott Smith I found that this album helped fill the void. The first song (and what I would call by far the best) I heard was the modern masterpiece "Sleepy California." What really amazes me about Her Space Holiday is the ability to blend such serious and somber lyrics with music that you can't help but groove to. This album is truly great in a time when all other music seems to be travelling down hill at a fast rate. I think Smith fans as well as Radiohead or Pedro the Lion listeners would all find something to love in this album."

Magically crafted emotional landscape

"Marc Bianchi is going through some tough time, and he turns all that misery into magical ear pleasure, completed with soothing beats, ringing strings, playful noises, and his lovely vocal. A record of personal revelations, his beats warm your heart when you are down, make you wanna dance when things are good, and can also be good background music when you're just doing school or office works. A very skillful and delicate balance that seems so natural, with zero pretention. A masterwork of indie pop."

Manic Expressive Part 2

"If you know this man's catalog, it's all over the place. Fortunately, Bianchi's Manic Expressive made enough impact for this follow-up. Not only do I agree with the last reviewer, the lyrics on this one are truly heart-felt, personal and revealing. One track, Tech Romance, is a perfectly crafted lyric about death, a shared moment for his now-past grandmother (I can totally relate to his mistake)...Anyone who bought into Manic Expressive will be just as pleased with The Young Machines. It is a solid 5 stars for anyone who enjoys his material."
