5MIINUST and PUULUUP is a wildly unexpected collaboration that will represent Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. The first being a dominating force in pop music in Estonia for the last six years and latter being an award-winning internationally active zombie-folk (as they call themselves) duo.
Regardless of the apparent differences of genre, the extremes of our musics melt together effortlessly - 5MIINUST bringing the firepower with kicks and bass and PUULUUP with their extremely rare wooden lyra (Talharpa) melodies to offer to the world a totally fresh sound palate - the sounds that our grandparents know in their bones driven by modern music production raw pumping energy.
The competition song „(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll)midagi“ was the first one we made together (now we’re already releasing an album „kannatused ehk külakiigel pole stopperit“ (26.04.2024)). Since 5MIINUST has had the notoriety of being "wild boys' and PUULUUP a pristine one, we had to mark this collaboration with this exact song. In that sense the song is about breaking social barriers and overcoming prejudice.
Facts:
There are only 3 people in the world making a living playing Talharpa. Marko and Ramo of PUULUUP are two of them.
5MIINUST has taken their sunglasses off only ONCE during their career and that was the final of the Estonian eurosong contest a few months ago.
The title “(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi” is THE LONGEST eurovision song contest participant title EVER.
The dance "WEISSON" has its roots on a tiny Estonian island and is named after PUULUUP Marko's surname Veisson.
5MIINUST and PUULUUP have a combined age of 241 years, making them the oldest competitors this year.
5MIINUST does not wear underpants. PUULUUP does.
