  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Pranatricks releases his Debut, Full Length Album, Cherished featuring the new Single Running on January 13th, 2023. Cherished is a collection of songs, some of which emerged from the ether as long as a decade ago, others appearing instantly in response to numerous reflective hours spent in contemplation of the inevitable changing landscape around us. This is a story in search of authenticity. Its simplicity is meant to remind us to sit with what is, to pause, and to remember our truth, whatever that may be and wherever that may lie.
     
    Andrew Clements, better known as Pranatricks, wants you to feel a little lighter — in a spiritual sense. The Vancouver Island native, who took his name from the Sanskrit term for ‘life-force,’ sees the purpose of art as a means to relieve suffering in the world. It was a big reason why he felt he finally had to share some of his perspective on finding peace amid the chaos of our everyday lives.

    This song collection uses its rustic aesthetic and melancholy passion to create a dozen songs that reflect on facing the unknown and searching for freedom. A mainly acoustic album, some of these tracks go back a decade to show that our yearning for more remains despite our changes in circumstances. It’s a real philosophical release.

Leave me on the battlefield to wither and decay, it seems no longer fashionable to stay out late. if emptiness appropriates then let me settle in, ordering what resonates is the best way to begin. aaahhhh aaaahhh aaaahhh When commenting on animals their life force remains, sacred in the stains upon the profits and the gains. Murdering and perjury couldn't cut it like I did Om Hari Krishina is filling up the kids. aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh Coming back from animals I've gone there again, you can bet I'm taking notes on everything cause nothing is the same.

about

Cherished is a collection of songs, some of which emerged from the ether as long as a decade ago, others appearing instantly in response to numerous reflective hours spent in contemplation of the inevitable changing landscape around us. This is a story in search of authenticity. Its simplicity is meant to remind us to sit with what is, to pause, and to remember our truth, whatever that may be and wherever that may lie.

In 2020 Pranatricks’ duty to explore the creative in order to operate in the outer world emerged. There, in that space, presented a retreat from the complexities, division and despair of the present global circumstances. With the inner work established, Pranatricks is ready to open the door and reveal his expression to the world. Cherished is a collection of songs that is meant to reflect the barest version of expression he could find. In composition it is simple and knocks loudly at the core of what is truth for him, much like a personal invitation to that creative refuge.

The songs reflect the difficulties of wrestling with the unknown, they explore social justice issues and continually remind us to find lightness, both in frequency and weight, in as many moments as possible. Ultimately, we all long to be free; cherish those moments and keep discovering as many of them as possible. It’s there, when the veil of the outer world lifts, even if only for a moment, that we glimpse the implausibility of nature and a truer connection to our innate divinity.

Pranatricks image

Pranatricks Vancouver, British Columbia

‘Prana’ Sanskrit for life force. It is binding and built upon breath. We are immersed in the power of our being continuously. ‘Tricks are for kids’, but life’s playfulness is not always apparent. Perhaps there is a formula for living with ease, discovering truth, and reflecting upon it; in an attempt, ultimately, to find freedom and justice within the exterior world. ... more
