Pranatricks releases his new single “Lights & Machines” out October 6, 2023. Pranatricks returns with the third single off of his sophomore album ‘Elements of’ set to release April 4, 2024. A return to a simpler time when we were not bombarded with media messaging, advertisement, and influencers infiltrating the super powered computers that fit in the palm of our hand, Lights and Machines is an indie alternative ode to remembering that our greatest powers lie within. Led by a softened crunched up electric guitar and a drum kit, Pranatricks delivers an equally subtle vocal performance that transports the listener to an era and space of effortlessness wonderment towards our understanding and personal connection to all things. Punctuated and separated by a rhythmic lead guitar line the bridge ads percussion and backing vocal shots to remind the listener to continually monitor their whereabouts in the outer world and ultimately leads them back to the heart space for the answers they are searching for. Parts of the track including the drums and vocal shots were recorded back in 2011 in an abandon warehouse in Vancouver Downtown Eastside, prior to it being demolished to build gentrified condominiums.  The outro harnesses the etherial haunt of the open warehouse space, while adding some layered arpeggio synthesizers to maximize the mantric quality of the vocals, ultimately returning the listener to a space of awareness within.
