Following One2One's use of 'Turtle' for their Talk 100 TV and Radio advertising campaign, mainstream demand exceeded all expectation and prompted Certificate 18 to release it as a single in February to keep the baying public happy - and whistling. Now back with eight new tracks, the Manana EPs are two four-track glimpses into the weird and wonderful world of Mr Stuart Cullen, AKA Pilote.

The first EP, out on 1st July, opens with 'Streams', an amalgam of undulating piano chords and choppy electro breaks, sandwiched together by Pilote's signature craftsmanship. The second track comes in the form of the beautifully haunting 'Gypsies', which leads onto 'Way Far Out', a slow mechanoise of interference and traces of human voices and activity that slip into a sublime blend of blissful, subtle rhythms. Closing up the rear is 'Duck Style'; an ode to those web-feet wanderers, but more importantly another Pilote masterpiece which uses run-of-the-mill and downright ridiculous sounds to create a serene concoction of downtempo madness.

Meaning "indefinite future", and Spanish slang for "tomorrow" or "later", Pilote's second installment of Manana will follow on 22nd July, completing his enlightening take on procrastination.
