Music Floss

Hey Marseilles plays orchestral folk songs, interweaving eclectic instrumentation with melodic musings on time and place. Having landed on Sound NW’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch for 2008,” HM released their first full-length album, To Travels & Trunks, late that year and have been garnering favorable reviews from Seattle critics in the months since. The record landed airplay on independent radio taste-maker KEXP and secured a top ten listing in Seattle’s Three Imaginary Girls’ “Top Northwest Releases of 2008 Readers Poll.” HM played SXSW 2009, are booked for the main stage at Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party, and have been selected for both Bumbershoot and CMJ 2009. Recent months have seen them share bills with The Constantines, Cotton Jones, and fellow Seattleites The Long Winters and David Bazan. A re-mix & re-release of To Travels & Trunks is planned for early 2010.
