Pranatricks is a Vancouver Island, Canada-based act that takes his name from the Sanskrit word prana which means “life force”, and the North American saying “tricks are for kids”. It’s a mix of playfulness and seriousness that is evident in his music. His latest track and video is called Shades of Your Light.

By Graeme Smith

Shades of Your Light is a gentle acoustic number, with melancholic vocals and captivating lyrics. It’s a call to arms for anyone who has stifled themselves to fit in in a world that demands conformity. As the track progresses, the instrumentals build to a life-affirming climax with claps and rolling cymbals. The track is, put simply, flawless.
