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

Listening Post: Batch 571

I began writing 'State of Mind' in Hawaii in April 2023, and completed the song in December 2024 in South Korea. The collaboration with Flambeau, a fellow Uni student, marked a significant turning point in the song's development and we created a piece that we both adore and believe has potential. We have uploaded to Distrokid, shared the Pre-Save link and plan to submit to playlists, music blogs. The song explores the pursuit of an elusive "ideal" dictated by society and encourages self-discovery.

State of Mind

Walking the line between intimate bedroom pop and an arena anthem, ‘Scar’ marks the beginning of the band’s most ambitious chapter to date.

Scar

A track about going after what you want even if it's bad for you

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I’m wretched when
The fomo hits
I don't wanna stand there looking out of the window, but 
I don't wanna stick out when everybody here, fits in

Approachable
Disposables
I don’t wanna go if I don't know there's an exit
I don’t wanna go if there’s no way to get out but then

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out or no-one else does
Who cares?

I’m all out of
Neglectful of
Voices thoughts opinions and hanging around with them
I don't want to start something if we’ll just fall out again

The messenger 
Speaks semaphore
All I’m doing, is trying to, let someone know, that I
I don’t hold a grudge, but I know, I’m not meant to be out

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Who even cares?

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Poet meets songsmith in a fresh, genre-blending collaboration - Jasmine Gardosi and Dan Whitehouse release their debut collaborative single..
(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike explores what it means to keep going - to fall, wobble, pause, and get back on again. A song about resilience and mental health. Powered by the sounds of a real bicycle turned into a percussion instrument - striking wheels, ringing bells - while Jasmine Gardosi’s beatboxing adds breath and momentum, echoing the ride itself and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.
Born from Black Country Bikes: Music In Motion - a songwriting and community project they co-led in 2024 - the song turns the bicycle into a metaphor for life itself.
Workshops brought together a diverse community of cyclists, poets, musicians, and first-time songwriters to explore the question: “What does it feel like to ride a bike?” A real bicycle became a percussion instrument sampled in this song. …Stories became lyrics. Movement became metaphor. And from the middle of it all came this track - not just a one-off, but the first ripple in what promises to be a longer journey together.
“There’s a reason we say, ‘It’s like riding a bike,’” says Gardosi. “The body remembers. The heart does too. This song is about those moments when we think we can’t keep going, but somehow, we do.”
Whitehouse adds: “Mental health-wise, it’s a reminder that it’s OK to ‘fall off’. I guess what matters is getting back on, even if the wheels feel wobbly.”
(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike rolls gently through themes of healing, persistence, and self-compassion, set to a chill-hop pulse.

They Say Its Like Riding A Bike

Say The Word is the most raw, unshakeable platonic love - knowing aggressively that if that person asked you to run away with them, to do anything, you would and you wouldn’t turn back. Think Thelma and Louise.

Released via Mahogany Songs. 9th July 2025.
