Manchester-born, London-based producer Model 86's decision to combine pianos, pan pipes, jazz guitar and footwork is by no means an obvious recipe for an infectious track but if "Mono" is anything to go by, it's a combination that could do with some exploration. Taken from his fantastically-titled new EP, When You Realise People Are Not One Dimensional Characters In A Movie Of Your Life (due July 8), "Mono" is a sunny, bleary-eyed beauty of a track that goes through a number of changes, switching from frantic pan pipes to jazzy guitar licks to a gentle piano riff and then a whiplash, footwork-style vocal edit to dizzying but gratifying effect. If that first sleepy-eyed coffee on a Saturday morning had a sound, it would be "Mono".
