PRAANA Find Beauty In Looking Inward On New Album 'Insight Out'

Following months of acclaimed singles and growing anticipation, PRAANA today unveil their second studio album ‘Insight Out’, out now on Colorize.

Building on the world introduced with 2023's ‘Supernal Dawn’, PRAANA return with 'Insight Out', an album that marks a clear creative evolution for the project. As Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed describe it, “‘Supernal Dawn’ was the awakening. 'Insight Out' is the embodiment" - a collection of sixteen tracks shaped by patience, presence and a deeper trust in the creative process. Built around glowing synth work, hypnotic grooves and expansive soundscapes, the album captures PRAANA's transportive sound at its most refined.

Serving as the album's focus track, 'Smoke Signals (Afterglow)' reimagines PRAANA and Susie Ledge's standout collaboration in a more delicate, stripped-back form. Preserving the emotional weight of the original while allowing its finer details to shine, the new version offers a fitting final chapter to ‘Insight Out’s journey.

Reflecting on the album Chad Cisneros shares:

‘Insight Out’ is a title born from an experience rather than an idea. The album explores a simple truth found across the world's contemplative traditions: when the movement of the mind begins to settle, we discover that what we've been searching for has quietly been here all along.

Beneath thought, identity and emotion lies a silent field of awareness that is whole, unchanging and infinitely creative. From this inner stillness arises a deeper kind of knowing, one that doesn't rely on thought alone, but on direct experience.

As we turn inward, we gain insight. The invitation is not to stay there. It is to bring that insight into the way we create, relate, love and live. ‘Insight Out’ is a reminder that the deepest journeys don't end inwardly. They begin there.

Throughout 'Insight Out', PRAANA weave together a carefully curated cast of collaborators, each adding a unique voice to the album's emotional landscape. ready ready wait, RKTKT and lydi lynn, Courtney Storm, Tina Parol, Freddie Elmberg and Susie Ledge all contribute performances that complement PRAANA's richly detailed production, while instrumental moments such as 'The Unfurling', 'Fernwake', 'Calling In' and 'Zilker Gardens Echo' allow the duo's thoughtful approach to songwriting - embracing space, subtlety and atmosphere as much as melody - to shine throughout.

Since launching the project, PRAANA have quietly become one of melodic electronic music's most distinctive names, amassing more than 30 million DSP streams alongside over 250 spins on SiriusXM Chill. With upcoming Colorize North American tour dates in San Francisco and Seattle, the duo continue to bring their immersive live experience to audiences around the world.

With ‘Insight Out’, PRAANA deliver more than a collection of songs - they offer a soundtrack to the moments that shape us. Rooted in the idea that our greatest discoveries begin within, the album is an invitation to carry that perspective outward, into the way we create, connect and experience the world.
