Portuguese artist CONAN OSIRIS has dropped XENONEXO, a surprise full-length album and his first major release since 2017’s Adoro Bolos. The record arrives unannounced and expansive, clocking in at 20 tracks that map a creative evolution over the past decade.

At the heart of XENONEXO sits ‘Telemóveis’, the single CONAN OSIRIS performed at Festival da Canção 2019, the song that won the national selection and sent him to the Eurovision Song Contest that year. The track’s return here serves both as anchor and flashpoint, linking XENONEXO’s forward momentum to a moment when CONAN’s singular vision first broke into wider public view.

Musically, XENONEXO continues the artist’s fearless blend of pop, electronic, and off-kilter experimentalism. Tracks like ‘DONA GLUTEUDA’, ‘PRINTSCESAS’, and ‘FUJA MESMO SFF’ mix bold sound design with playful and provocative lyrical turns, balancing heavier emotional currents with moments of levity and memory.

Besides XENOXENO, CONAN OSIRIS gifted the world a companion release on the same day: MUSICÆ MMXV, a mini-album collecting earlier tracks first shared on SoundCloud and in Facebook videos back in 2015 that had never been officially available on streaming platforms. Among this set is the cult favorite ‘QMD’ a piece long circulated among fans but previously unreleased in official form.

The simultaneous arrival of XENONEXO and MUSICÆ MMXV feels like both a culmination and a reset, a nod to the past, a bold step into the present, and a statement that CONAN OSIRIS remains among Portugal’s most distinctive and unpredictable creative forces in music.
