"For all the room-filling beauty of the symphonic climaxes on their first full-length album, there's just as much power-- and passion-- in the record's simplest, sparsest moments. What makes To Travels & Trunks so incredibly intoxicating, however, is something less definitive than notes and measures: A youthful earnestness, a genuine, unsullied passion for song, shines through every last second of Hey Marseilles' music."
- Seattle Weekly
"The instrumentation is beautiful and dynamic, ranging from lamenting cello to joyful trumpets and everything in between..."
- KEXP Album Review
"Despite their name, Seattle’s Hey Marseilles perform in la langue de Shakespeare, preferring instead to invoke the spirit of old-world Marseilles as an influence to their poetic, folkish, and stunningly orchestral music. The collection of pianos, cello, violins, and accordion might force some people to label it as 'eclectic.' I call it 'magnifique.'"

Hello! I'm going to be up in Seattle on July 15th for a show at Studio 7 and I was hoping you could make it. :] If you're interested, tickets are $8 if you buy them before the 15th, or $10 at the door. There's more information on my page, or you could just send me a message if you're interested in getting a ticket. I hope you can make it!
