Aloha! 1st Song Music presents the 2024 May Surf Music playlist. Hope You All Enjoy It!

1st Song Music - Surf Music | May 2024

Any 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 27th May 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/batch531

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 531

Our moderators listened to every track we were sent this week and have picked their favourites for your listening pleasure this weekend:

Falling From Your Grace

On The Back Foot

Poppy Smallwood's debut EP explores the emotional landscape of a decade of song writing. Let the music and the words weave tendrils of friendship around your tired shoulders.

Helen

Produced by me and J.Christopher Thomas. Bass by Matthew Insco. More credits to come.

No Way!

‘The Man at the Party’ a striking alt hip hop dialogue between B and one of ‘those’ guys at a party…
You know the fella. Kinda offended by a woman having the temerity to disagree/ correct him/ have her own opinion. It’s a confrontation and catharsis in song form!

The Man at the Party

Written, composed, recorded, produced and performed by Guilherme Machado Correia in Lisbon, during the last months of 2023.

Mixed and mastered by Miguel Vilhena.

João Simões helped with some guitar parts and composed all the vocal harmonies.

Lyrics:
get closer to the edge, will you stay up all night?
I’m never coming back, I think I lost it 

you’re waking me soft
my heart starts pushing
the kids start running
afraid not to fade away

weekends
on weekends I go out, when I’m not out on tour
eyelids
I feel like coming back, oh when you call me

taking pictures
this second’s frozen
what are you doing
with all you have to offer, boy

and we’re so happy that we’re going
even the heat won’t slow us down
and while the day is still glowing
we skate our hearts out, let them out

get closer to the edge, will you stay up all night?
I’m never coming back, I think I lost it  

you’re watering flowers
and counting hours
you’ve drawn your maps
and you’re ready to take off now

and we’re so happy that we’re going
even the heat won’t slow us down
and while the day is still glowing
we skate our hearts out, let them out

Anything You Want

London x Rome duo Malihini (Giampaolo Speziale and Federica Caiozzo) have shared their second single "Miss" premiering via DIY.

Produced by Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Darkstar, Ghostpoet), Miss deals with the quintessential topics that form every relationship: 
""Miss" is a love song, containing memories and hopes and fears," say the band. "When we were writing it we found ourselves in one of those rhythmic loops. A loop that felt tribal, almost. We scrambled some words together and they came out so naturally it felt like we were exhaling the lyrics rather than writing them."
"Richard Formby was a lot of fun to work with, he goes deep into the songs and generates layers where you couldn't imagine there being layers. He's a lovely human, too."

About Malihini
Giampaolo Speziale and Federica Caiozzo met in early 2015 and, in what Federica describes as a "moment of surrender," decided to start making music together on a road trip through Austria, Germany and Poland. The duo gathered thirty improvised musical ideas and spent eight days recording with their friend and drummer Alberto Paone in a Roman studio.
Last year, they decided to break from their previous musical incarnations and moved from Rome to London, taking with them a hard drive of songs, a battered suitcase and vinyl copies of Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left and Stevie Wonder's Hotter Than July.
"Miss" comes hot on the heels of debut single "Waiting," recorded in Camberwell in the house of an Egyptologist and subsequently championed by the likes of Loud and Quiet, Stereogum and TLOBF. The duo have since decamped to Sicily, where they are working on their as yet untitled debut album.
