Her Space Holiday – A Single Hand
I’ve always had a soft spot for Her Space Holiday’s bedroom electronica. I discovered it a few years ago when looking for more things that sounded like The Postal Service. It didn’t fit the bill entirely, but it was still good in it’s own way. So exactly what am I supposed to make of this? A Single Hand doesn’t sound like Her Space Holiday. It’s not electronic. Instead, just a gentle acoustic guitar in the background. It isn’t personal. Instead, it tells a more abstract story. A story that is told entirely in spoken word. I like spoken word when done right, so that in itself isn’t a problem. This is just nothing like what I would expect. Hell, look at the picture and tell me that the song matches it. It doesn’t. At least until you take in the words. Suddenly, this doesn’t seem so much like a creative misstep. Instead, it feels like an evolution.
Wow! Congrats on the new site! I updated your link and hang in there it is a rough transition but having your own domain is bad ass. Plus you have goodness!
ps. I am going to see Explosions In The Sky this Saturday and I am so excited. :-)
