Estonia 2021 - Redel – Tartu



***STOP PRESS***

Oh my days, that live performance was even more than we could have dreamed of! The original vid is still at the bottom of this page if you want a revisit.

=========================================

That's it, cancel everything, we have a winner - our my front room at least! Those who know us IRL will know that we rattle on about how Winny Puhh are the greatest musical artists in all known history, so it may not surprise you to know that this is easily our favourite aspiring entry for Eurovision 2021 by quite some distance.

Y'see, the group here referred to as Redel (meaning Ladder in Estonian, language fans) is made up of Indrek and Kristjan of the above mentioned Põlva weird noise legends, and sees our two heroes bouncing cheerily down a tunnel telling us about how lots of their local downs are made of wood, and how Tartu is really very nice. And that's it! This situationist travelogue is backed by bouncy minimal filth beats and all weighs in at a little over two minutes, and if anything betters this for absolute wonky joy this most potentially fun-dry of seasons then I will very likely faint.

Prepare yourself for the live performance, because if you've never seen anything other than their sister band's gateway drug 
Meiecundimees Üks Korsakov Läks Eile Lätti the other year you'll possibly be horrified to know know that it was among their most restrained stage appearances, and absolutely anything could happen!

Can't bloody wait!

  1. This is my #2 from the Eesti Laul 24, based purely on the Saturday morning studio version with thumbnail only. Thank god for some variety in this year's EE - even Jüri is giving it a go too (my #1).

    Will either win? Unfortunately no - I can see a straight fight between Uku S and Koit in the Super Final but fingers crossed for something different in that third slot (Heleza with "6" is a nice surprise in the list).

  2. I heard it this and instantly hated it and loved it in equal measures. I love that it's there, but would hate this to win LOL
