It was preceded by the singles "Into the Light" and "Each Other". Karra and Eric Lumiere provide guest vocals. ## Background and release The extended play was released as a follow-up to Notaker's previous extended play, *[Erebus I](/source/Erebus_I)*, released in 2018 on Canadian record label [Mau5trap](/source/Mau5trap).[1] It was marked as Notaker's second extended play release by Monstercat, since the release of his *[Genesis](/source/Genesis_(Notaker_EP))* extended play in 2017.[citation needed] *Path.Finder* was released as the third in his *Vessel* series, which was released as a way to "showcase and discuss stories and themes not possible to convey in just one song".[2] To promote *Path.Finder*, two songs from the extended play were released as singles.[3] Its lead single, "Into the Light", was released on January 31, 2019,[4] and its sophomore single "Each Other" on March 18.[5] On April 8, 2019, the album was released exclusively as a digital download on international digital stores through [Monstercat](/source/Monstercat).[6] ## Critical reception *Path.Finder* was well received by most critics. Farrell Sweeney of *[Dancing Astronaut](/source/Dancing_Astronaut)* noted the songs featured as having an "underlying dark edge that frames a collection of upbeat, vocal-lead, and ominous singles juxtaposed against one another."[6] *ThisSongSlaps'* Lauren Ikenn wrote that the extended play was "well worth the wait" and was "everything we wanted and more."[3] Writing for *The Nocturnal Times*, Caroline O'Keefe compared it to Notaker's previous extended play, Erebus I, writing that the prior is more [progressive](/source/Progressive_music)-base, writing that the record took "listeners on a transcendent journey through progressive anthems, some of his most unique productions to date, and emotionally-rich narratives that culminate in a mesmerising balance of delight and remembrance."[7] Asad Aftab of *EDMTunes* praised the extended play, stated that Notaker had assembled "emotionally powerful, synth-heavy bass music by crafting radiant soundscapes & coupling it with masterful production" and concluding his review by writing that it "It charts the evolution of Notaker as a musical artist as he explores a more melodic sound throughout, and it's exciting to see him evolve his sound even more on future releases."[2] The single "Each Other" had also garnered positive reception from critics, with Jim Babaoglu of *EDM Sauce* describing the single as an "uplifting progressive [synthwave](/source/Synthwave) track that possesses both beauty and power", later stating that Notaker "never seems to disappoint."[1] *EDMTunes'* Ian Thompson called the single a "blast from Notaker's original synthwave style" and noted it as having a [Seven Lions](/source/Seven_Lions)-esque beginning.[5] ## Release history Region Date Format Label Ref.
