Not All Who Wonder Are Lost

Previously only available on CD as a very limited self-release (2015). Combining elements of ambient and classic post rock, "Not All Who Wonder Are Lost" from Singapore's Paint The Sky Red offers captivating guitar chimes and a relentless tempo - and provides a powerful yet sweet but not overly saccharine melody throughout the album. "To Everness" opens with a breezy mist of light subtle tones, then breaks into a steady run, like a gallop through the woods, fir trees racing by, the cool air fresh against your skin. "While We Sleepwalk" continues the dreamy intro with its lushful and hopeful melodies while "A Billet Doux" carries you with a steadily-building rhythm, and at its peak plunges into the motions of an enchanting dance, with breath-taking twists and dips, and twirls that sweep you off your feet. The aptly-named "Victory" starts sombre and tense - a shot in the dark, war drums sounding in the deep; joy and euphoria follow, but laced still with the spectre of unease.
