Hey Marseilles

The Doe Bay Sessions – Hey Marseilles from Sound on the Sound on Vimeo.

Hey Marseilles is a Seattle-based band who play what has been described, among other things, as “poetic, folkish, and stunningly orchestral music.”  Their 2008 CD, To Travels & Trunks, exhibits a tranquil, lilting sound that I find both riveting and relaxing (if that’s possible) at the same time.  Indeed, their “picnic table performance at Doe Bay Fest 2010” featured above seems to capture the perfect setting for that feeling–sitting in a woods, chilling out, enjoying the world and one’s existence in it.
