One of the highlights of 2011 will most certainly be seeing Beirut play at this year's Electric Picnic. I thought for the longest time they must be Eastern European or some such, but they're actually an American band, influenced by Eastern European and Balkan folk music. Their 2006 album Gulag Orkestar is one of my all time favourites, and I can't wait for their new album The Rip Tide, released later this summer.
