Her Space Holiday - Something Blue
(Brave Noise)
Her Space Holiday has had a busy year, and the coming year is even busier.
This is the first is a good-sized line of releases slated for 2000.
And, if this release is any indication, it'll be a good year.
Her Space Holiday is a one man band. That one man is Marc Bianchi, who also
runs AudioInformationPhenomena Records.
Quite a resumé. He likes his pop melancholic, subdued, and with a good
amount of synth here and there. Hence, all the songs on this EP are very
nice, unassuming, straight-ahead pop. The first, "Something Old (floating)"
is instrumental, while the other 3 have singing. Aside from the
lyrics/singing in "Something Borrowed (fan club)," this is a very solid EP.
That song is about someone who remixed some songs of a band that he really
loved and sent them off with the hopes that the people in the band would
appreciate it. But, the guy never hears back from the band, which makes him
sad. I don't have any concrete reasons why I dislike the lyrics or the way
they're sung, they just kind of annoy me. But, vocals aside, it's a really
nice song.
The crazier analog synth sounds in the last track "Something Blue (our
first date)" make it my favorite of the CD. This is a good follow up to
"The Astronauts are Sleeping," so I'm increasingly looking forward to
future Her Space Holiday releases.
