WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: matt bishop / hey marseilles - rio (acoustic tour video)

matt bishop / hey marseilles - rio (acoustic tour video version)
[we talked about hey marseilles back in august as a wonderfully lush band with songs that are full of flourish and energy. it was the kind of description that felt final, but fast forward to xmas night where i've found myself in a bit of post holiday food coma, and like a dream, i came across this mellow version performed by lead singer matt bishop in the vastness of a church. the end result is both gorgeously haunting and perfect for the sentimental xmas haze i am floating in. if you're also in this state, turn the lights down, press play and just bask. happy xmas yo!]
