PENGUIN CAFE – WELCOME TO LONDON

Posted on 2023-07-03

Welcome to London, taken from the LP ‘Rain Before Seven…’ by Penguin Cafe

A sense of optimism infuses Penguin Cafe’s fifth studio album Rain Before Seven… not the braggadocious, overconfident kind, but more a blithe, self-effacing optimism in keeping with the national character. Even when all signs point to the contrary, it operates within the certainty that things are going to be alright. Probably.

The title comes from an old weather proverb with the rhyming prognostication — fine before eleven — hinting at a happy ending, irrespective of the science: “I found it in a book and I’d never heard it before,” says Arthur Jeffes, leader of Penguin Cafe. “It has faintly optimistic overtones and I quite like it. It’s fallen out of usage recently but it does describe English weather patterns coming in off the Atlantic.”

THROWING STONES BY YUSUKE HANAI X ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Posted on 2023-07-03

Throwing Stones is the latest collaboration between Japanese artist Yusuke Hanai and All Rights Reserved. Hanai continues his focus on urban life—simple, everyday, uneven and sometimes challenging. No hype, no bling, no over-the-top street fashion here. The piece features one of Hanai’s signature characters seen just after he’s launched a stone or perhaps pretending to do so. A way to pass time, ride the doldrums and reflect.

As with many of his other pieces, Hanai’s newest art toy has an unmistakable, unpretentious presence. We can all relate to the character as he finds his way through the days, sometimes bathing in the comfort of the unremarkable.

An edition of 1000.
