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.
