Her Space Holiday

Something Blue EP

Brave Noise

Four more songs from California’s prolific Her Space Holiday. Late night guitars softly nestle amongst atmosphere-laden keyboards and hushed, rich vocals for organically moody sounds to complement your sweetly dim lighting. While sometimes EPs tend to hide away oddball songs, these are all strong. Indeed, these are all high among my favorite HSH songs. “Happy as a Ghost” brings to mind Soul Whirling Somewhere, which is always good, and “Fan Club” is a clever open audio letter to an admired performer. Beautifully touching and highly recommended.
