It's pretty ridiculous that this album released so quickly. Forget that Assailants was released a little over a year ago. Leighton's side project with producer Matt Malpass The Cinema just released an LP three weeks prior to this. And while the songs still float and delicately build up and down in typical Lydia fashion, it's apparent The Cinema sessions have influence this newer more feel good/optimistic and upbeat sound found on Paint It Golden.
Since Lydia's return was partly influence from the cult status it built itself with kids tattooing Illuminate lyrics on their skin, Paint It Golden will hold that same appeal to many of those fans: it may not win new fans but with two LP releases within 3 weeks it's a great time to be a Leighton/Lydia fan.

No doubting that this is a beautiful sounding record, however, the problem is that it tries too hard to replicate the magic of Illuminate. Rather than sounding like an expansion or exploration of a new direction it comes off as a somewhat poor imitation of their previous treasure.

I think they blended their styles well. You can hear little styles from It's December... but it's mainly influenced
by the music of Illuminate and the lyrical style of Assailants (though heavily of both). This is a good, complete
album. It finally gives closure to Lydia.
