Hey Marseilles plays simple folk songs, interweaving orchestral instrumentation with melodic musings on time and place.

Having landed on Sound Northwest'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 South By Southwest 2009 and, focusing on new material, is booked for Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party and Bumbershoot festivals.
