2013 album from the Seattle-based Indie band. The 12 songs on Lines We Trace represent a band steady enough in it's sound poignant, panoramic, unreservedly gorgeous that it can expand beyond it. The string section that hums throughout 'Elegy' quintessentially sweeping, Hey Marseilles style shifts into finely composed abstraction for the song's final minute. Colin Richey's skittering rhythm on 'Bright Stars Burning' is a gentle break-beat, a sly nod to atmospheric Drum n Bass. 'Madrona' and the album-closing 'Demian' are Hey Marseilles first fully instrumental songs, a pair of echo-laden piano-and-cello dirges that are simultaneously solemn and sumptuous.
