I first heard
Hey Marseilles on the late Seattle radio show
Too Beautiful to Live (now relegated to the realm of podcasting, or "imaginary radio"), and was immediately drawn in by the fact that they
could not fit most of their band into the studio. After grabbing the track
Rio off the
KEXP Song of the Day Podcast and seeing a couple of their live shows, I picked up their debut CD
To Travels & Trunks. It is fantastic - every song is a wonderful mix of the nine members (or so - there are quite a lot) and their various instruments playing both instrumental and lyrically incredible music.
They just released their album as an LP. I think I might buy it again. This is coming from a person who is actively concerned about whether he will have enough money at the end of the year to pay his taxes. Hey Marseilles are very good.
