about

“Pravin weaves wonderful stories that slowly unfold and build from “thoughtful” quiet interactions that then “collapse”. I would say the songs build and grow into colorful sonic paintings that any stuffy jazz club would be lucky to feature.”
-Dave Fiuczynski, Jazz Guitarist

“This 9-track record is unapologetic and raw. Showcasing a plethora of different guitar and compositional styles. A Thoughtful Collapse is a gritty and in your face album, that teeters between Jazz, Prog-Rock, and Noise.”
-Grateful Web

“Imagine a killing rock band that lost their singer but realized that vocals were not necessary to get the point across, actually better that instruments do the speaking to each other and to the listener because the message and emotions are complex and abstract.”
-Jason Tors, The Loading Dock

“The album documents all of this: a self-proclaimed “existential crisis” and the learning arc of a twenty something jazz guitarist finding his place in the New York City jazz scene.”
-Mackenzie Stone, THINK2MUCH
