Pana-vision

"Pana-vision" is the fourth single by the English rock band the Smile, released on 3 April 2022. It is included on their debut album, A Light for Attracting Attention. Music video An animated visualizer directed by Sabrina Nichols, using imagery by the Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood, was released alongside on 3 April 2022. Mxdwn.com writer Lauren Floyd called the video "cinematic", saying it features "dramatically elongated and drawn out shapes and figures ... parallel to Yorke's airy falsetto". On July 20, 2022, the scene from the series finale of the British television series Peaky Blinders that used "Pana-vision" in full three months earlier was uploaded as a separate live-action music video for the song. The music video was directed by series director Anthony Byrne. Reception "Pana-vision" received favourable reviews. Tyler Golsen of Far Out Magazine gave it 7.2 out of 10, calling it the Smile's most "nebulous track" so far, and likened it to Jonny Greenwood's film scores. Loudwire said its "cinematic" title fit its "picturesque piano-driven exploration". The Uproxx writer Adrian Spinelli called the song "decidedly sinister" and said the piano "challenges your mind to understand how the song is supposed to make you feel". Cleber Facchi of Música Instântanea compared the song favourably to Radiohead's 2016 album A Moon Shaped Pool.
