    The Hey Marseilles sound is immediate, evocative, mostly acoustic, and always emotive. It's classically trained brothers Sam and Jacob Anderson on cello and viola, their strings grand and mournful; it's the wheeze and moan of Philip Kobernik's accordion, simultaneously the gawkiest and most romantic of all instruments; it's Nick Ward's electric guitar on the epic "Calabasas," stretching into the distance like an open road; it's the Dixieland swagger of Patrick Brannon's trumpet on uptempo lead single "Rio”—recently Song of the Day at NPR, Spinner.com, and KEXP; it's a songwriter's urgent expression via vocalist Matt Bishop, expanded with huge singalong choruses, unraveled by a virtuoso band's sinuous arrangements; and it's modern vintage, a folk-pop jam session at a vanished cabaret on the Seine, an indie rocker's fantasy of his grandparents' first kiss.
