Prateek Kuhad at Songbyrd

Date and Time:april 5@7PM

Organizers:Songbyrd Music House & Record Cafe and Prateek Kuhad

At first glance, the cover of Prateek Kuhad's captivating new EP, 'cold/mess,' seems utterly romantic. The artwork depicts two lovers, bodies intertwined in a deep and lasting kiss, oblivious to the world around them. Take a closer look, though, and you'll see that the couple is actually underwater, drowning as their embrace drags them further and further beneath the surface. In a flash, ecstasy has turned to agony, and the love that nourished and sustained them now seals their tragic fate.

"Relationships can be very dichotomous," says Kuhad. "They can be comforting and amazing and chaotic and suffocating all at once, and I wanted these songs to capture those extremes, that rollercoaster you experience between love and heartbreak."

Venue:Songbyrd Record Cafe and Music House, 2475 18th St NW, Washington D.C., D.C. 20009, USA
