Bumbershoot is over, yes it’s true. I know you’re all broken up about it but come on, stop crying because this is getting really awkward. I don’t even know you. I really just wanted to let you know that I got the chance to chat with a few of the guys from They make music that upon first listen will grab hold of your heart, squeeze until you can’t breathe anymore and then let it go at just the right moment leaving you with a feeling of calm euphoria. Here’s a bit from their bio…
For Hey Marseilles, travel is as much a state of mind as location of body. This is a seven-piece Northwest band deeply rooted to its place of origin but equally anxious to get away, to see it all. Not escapism, but expansion: Listen closely to To Travels and Trunks and you’ll hear faraway places named not so much as a wish list but as incantation. The broader your horizon, the deeper your longing, the more genuine your experience.
And so, in 2008, three guys embark on a musical adventure instigated by one’s first melody on his brand-new used accordion. And, some months later, seven guys芒鈧漷he original trio plus a few old friends芒鈧漡et together in a garage in Seattle and record an album. To Travels and Trunks is both Hey Marseilles芒鈧劉 mission statement and its hazy dream put to music.
