Derek Vincent Smith is delighted to announce the release date of his new full-length album, A Color Map of the Sun, on July 2, 2013.

The footage was shot over two years in multiple cities where some part of the recording and producing process took place. It will give viewers a unique and intimate look at the creation of the collection of work that is A Color Map of the Sun. The documentary will be released this summer.
