A violin sneaks from behind the guitar, soft at first, then bolder, until soon the song sings with the strings, and what was before a quiet melancholy becomes an anthem.

And that, at least to us, is the Book of Colors.

Listen to their song "The Sound of What You Leave Behind."

Members are: Andre Paraguassu (guitar and lead vocals), Ryan Gregory (violin), Bradley Bailey (drums and backup vocals) Dan Beauregard (bass and upright bass) Gary Eddy  (organ and backup vocals).

The band plays the Other Sound Music Festival Saturday, 19 September, at Atlanta's Star Bar, one of 11 bands playing that night, and ten more play earlier the day at Criminal Records and in Little Five Points' Findley Plaza.

We asked the band a few questions a few days before the show. Listen below!
