We’ve been talking about putting their album out on vinyl ever since.

Ars Moriendi is presented on 150g random marbled vinyl in a thick tip-on gatefold jacket with a lyric insert that includes new artwork. The D side has two album outtakes and a cover of Postal Service’s “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.” It’s available for pre-order now here and will ship in January 2016 when the final printed parts arrive. “If you love an uplifting big band, The Collection is for you. ” – Bob Boilen, NPR “Ars Moriendi is a towering, colossal achievement” – Stephen Carradini, Independent Clauses “I was in love instantly … This record is timeless.” – Paul Kemsley Ars Moriendi is streaming at The Collection’s bandcamp site: Ars Moriendi by the Collection Here’s the video for “The Gown of Green” which initially debuted at NPR.org: :::scott:::
