Isobar is happy to announces the release of its fifth album, Isobar V, on the TropeAudio label. This release is the follow-up to the band’s four previous critically-acclaimed CDs. Isobar V captures the essence of the band's unique instrumental progressive rock sound: fearless, sophisticated, and richly satisfying. Each composition unfolds with distinctive melodies, unpredictable harmonic landscapes, shifting meters, inventive arrangements, and intricate musical interplay. It’s an album that continually challenges, surprises, and rewards attentive listeners.

Isobar is comprised of guitarist/composer Malcolm Smith, keyboardist/composer Marc Spooner, bassist Loren Gustafson, and Mattias Olsson on drums and percussion. Also featured on selected tracks of Isobar V are James Vaughn (saxophones), John Ettinger (violin), and Patricio Penin (Uilleann bagpipes). Isobar V was recorded at Dolores Gulch Studios, The Music Shed, and Roth Händle Studio, and was mixed by Robert Berry at Soundtek Studios.
