Australia’s a long way to come if you’re a band dealing in music that’s not going to sell millions, so most of their left-field gems tend to stay hidden. Architecture In Helsinki have made the trip and thank goodness for that, at least if 'Do The Whirlwind' is anything to go from. Based on a Human Leauge style synth bass line, it heads off in countless directions, throwing in female rapping, carnival style percussion and a brass section for good measure. Utterly wonderful.

From the goodtime vibes of Hot Chip to the full-on sonic assault of Primal Scream, this year's Electric Picnic achieved the impossible by being even more fab than its predecessors.
