In days done by it's been an unusual event for Portugal to offer up anything even remotely experimental to the FDC fold. But still in the glow of their winning moment they've gotten a little bolder in their selections. Witness Conan Osiris here. If you can imagine an amalgam of rustic Lusophone folk and skittish electronic mumble rap you're probably only a quarter of the way to guessing what this is going to sound like.
Older clips of his on YT suggest a kind of deep, dark and shadowy figure, operating at the very fringes of usual music, and his Festival entry is pushing the very boundaries of what wide swathes of Eurovisiona even consider music.
But heavens, we suspect this is going to be very, very special live. It may be doomed critically, we we can't flipping wait to see it performed live!
***STOP PRESS***
We've seen it live. It was a bit flipping special, and we've added it above!
