SUPER HEROS RETURN by MUMBREEZE – IMAGE: COURTESY LITTLE CAKES LITTLE GALLERY
KINYA HANADA and his wife, KAO – are MUMBREEZE.
Photographed in the gallery show they call:
SUPER HEROES RETURN – LITTLE CAKES LITTLE GALLERY, SEPT 8, 2007
PHOTO: NANCY SMITH
TIME To FLY OVER to LITTLE CAKES GALLERY in the EAST VILLAGE and turn up the heat in your mind’s eye !!! MUMBREEZE is in town.
“A Large staircase stacked with papier-mache dolls is their version of ‘Ohinasama’, a Japanese family tradition to celebrate the holiday Girls’ Day…” – and don’t forget to ask Hanna to turn some of them around – they have reverse images !!!
There’s also a video collaboration with E*Rock, with a simply drawn, low-key animated super hero, a kind of JERRY SEINFELD of new pop psychedelic video – “whose only power is the ability to exchange different heads with the touch of a button. He walks around town with nothing to do, and then just falls asleep.”
.. and then of course there are some beautiful whimsical light-hearted light-filled drawings.
Prices range from $200 to $400 tops! – so quit whining that the art world is just a scummy
billionaires’ club party.

JIM DRAIN OPENED A HUGE SHOW OF NEW WORK, last night at Greene Naftali Gallery. The work was so SO!! much more dynamic and diverse than the photos on the gallery website make it out to be – this is one case where one picture (at least the installation shots on the GREENE NAFTALI website…) are NOT worth a thousand words.
The show’s a live wire – it’s gotta be seen live !!!!!!

SIMON CERIGO’S (RAVE) REVIEW of PANDA BEAR’S NEW CD – PERSON PITCH
~PANDA BEAR |
Posted in The Bomb | By Nancy Smith | September 4th, 2007, 9:24pm
After reviewing Feels, the Animal Collective’s second CD for this column, a few years ago, I went out and bought, (on the strength of the cover art!), one of the first of Panda Bear’s early singles – as a present for my then teenage daughter, Kate.
She in turn, made a point of getting tickets for Panda Bear’s recent NYC concert, this past June 2007. Musically the concert was great, and included Panda Bear’s own streaming video collages, projected behind him.
The next week, I went to my favorite music store, OTHER MUSIC, and bought the new Panda Bear CD, Person Pitch. The CD is amazing – and has all the songs from the live show reproduced perfectly.
I have to admit that this CD is the most dynamic, deeply felt, and exhilarating music, with new sounds, that I have heard in some time. It puts to shame that other electronica & voice band, The Knife, and their recent third CD Silent Shout. On the other hand, The Knife’s first CD, Deep Cuts, from 3 years ago, is a great CD which added low-fi creativity and emotion to the usually boring, (except for dancing), electronica format. Their Pass It On video from the Deep Cuts CD is one of the most watched videos on YouTube, and rightly so, whereas Silent Shout is so musically and visually pretentious, as to be unlistenable.
If you want to hear great new music – where the musicians transcend their complicated electronic gadgets, get Panda Bear’s Person Pitch and The Knife’s Deep Cuts – and stay away from Silent Shout.
Panda Bear is a one man band – who also performs as one third of Animal Collective.
