International new music stalwarts, The Vandermark 5, return with their first studio double-album- and their last with trombonist Jeb Bishop.
THE COLOR OF MEMORY, recorded & mixed in Chicago by Bob Weston (SHELLAC, MISSION OF BURMA) feels like a postcard from the edge... a series of mysterious sonic signs and mileposts reflecting and recounting the band's incredible journey over the past half-decade during the Vandermark/Kessler/Bishop/Rempis/Daisy era. The V5 hid the road in North America & Europe in support of THE COLOR OF MEMORY this Fall, too!
Disc 1: 42:50 mins. Disc 2: 37:41 mins.
