ny artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 29th April 2024 from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch527

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ChromePlus - Gone Is The Day (Ft Sleeps Cousin - Lieu Remix Radio edit)

A Different Kitchen, a psychedelic project seemingly fuelled by grief, loss and a general distaste of modern society. Emerging from Norfolk’s quiet back country, the trio began making noise - where alt-indie meets post-punk. With band members now spread from London to Sheffield, the group have migrated their sound throughout the UK; with their latest single, I'm Fine I'm Fine, featured by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music and Christian Carlisle on BBC Introducing in Sheffield.

A Different Kitchen write music for live consumption. The group creates a unique experience that leaves a long-lasting impact on their audience, through extreme dynamics, unsettling chord voicings and raw emotion. Music should always be about feeling. A Different Kitchen embrace this to bring their listeners on a journey, connecting with people through real experiences and interactions. Thoughtfully crafted lyrics and harmony gives the band an outlet to express their own vulnerabilities as individuals on stage and in the studio, creating an art piece that remains as fragile as the source from which it was conceptualised.

We often feel introverted and detached from life. The Norfolk-born trio use their shows to open up and let audiences share small moments on a personal level, something that is difficult to achieve in the fast-paced society we live in. After spending the back end of 2023 developing and refining their music in the studio, the band are ready to share a more emotive and personal group of songs throughout 2024, in an intense expression of vulnerability.

A Different Kitchen will be releasing 4 singles between April and August of 2024, exploring the emotional unhinge of a pained human mind. In an unsettling release of personal grief, the band will share their vulnerabilities in a raw form, across this new collection of work.

They Don't Make Them Like You Anymore

Track three, Just Bodies, is an exploration of the rawness and fragility of the human form, and the intimacies with which we are subservient, yet simultaneously lacking. This track is an embodiment of the trio’s musical direction and the personal seclusion from which ideas and lyrics are formed. The steady drum beat and droning guitars excuse themselves from the lead vocal line, luring listeners into to the lyrical meaning of the song. 


Just Bodies

Off the back of releasing our debut EP, Denouement' on 7th Feburary, we wanted to share our final track from the record, Just Bodies. 'Bodies' is an exploration of the rawness and fragility of the human form, and the intimacies with which we are subservient, yet simultaneously lacking. This track is an alternative representation of the trio’s musical direction of the EP, arising from the lack of self-presence and isolation still felt by many after covid. Just Bodies stems from a place of apprehension and the tendency to remain introverted, resulting in personal seclusion. "Just bodies, not minds".
