Robot Rock

I was really hoping that Norwegian electro duo Röyksopp would be added to the Electric Picnic line-up and today I got my wish. Check out State for the full list of additions.

Röyksopp's 'Junior' is definitely one of my favourites albums from 2009 so far. The album features two duets with Swedish songbird Lykke Li who happens to be performing at Electric Picnic so hopefully we can look forward to Lykke getting on stage with the guys to perform the tracks. I was lucky enough to catch her Dublin gigs last year and she's an incredible live performer.

Another Swedish lady, Robyn, handles vocal duties on Röyksopp's upcoming single, 'The Girl and The Robot'. The track is unfathomably brilliant and has the potential to be Röyksopp's biggest hit to date.

This shot from the video looks very promising and there are some excellent remixes doing the rounds, including this wonderful mix by Chateau Marmont.

Would it be too much to ask for Robyn to being her robot-oriented amour to Stradbally?
