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 Feb 28: 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/batch438

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.

Something Strange

Long Way To Go

Long Way To Go (Radio Edit)

This track has a "heavy dirty blues feel that tramples all over you", "its a monster".
So if you like hard hitting, heavy riffing, good old fashioned rock then this is for you.

Through the Storm

“Love the record! Way to be! Emotionally expansive, tough and pretty…honest and WORTH IT!”

That’s a review to write home about, by any standard, and from anyone.

That it arrived unsolicited from one of the musical firmaments most eclectic and singular of wizards, Evan Dando: the fact that it was then closely followed by an impromptu video message from a nameless, but perfect Pacific beach, inviting Alex Lipinski to “come fishing” and it should be immediately clear that this isn’t ‘same old, same old’.

The Lemonheads figurehead then picked up the phone, again, and invited Alex to open a few of his UK shows centred around the seminal ‘Shame about Ray’ album, starting with the recent Bristol 02 Academy and London Roundhouse.

Naturally, Lipinski said yes.

Liam Gallagher is a fan, which resulted in Alex belting out Elvis standards within the unlikely
domesticity of Liam’s own North London kitchen, in a surreal battle of anthems; the voice of a generation responding with a heartfelt rendition of ‘Acquiesce’ much to the amusement of Bonehead, who just happened to be there because he and Lipinski just happened to be in the middle of the critically acclaimed ‘Phoney’s & The Freaks’ collaboration, which saw them perform live together from Rome to Los Angeles.

His last album, the self-titled ‘Alex’ was produced by The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe in Berlin. Hailed by Newcombe as “a young man worth my time and efforts” and also observing that “make no mistake, these songs have all the qualities of timeless music”.

Again, this is not ‘same old, same old’.

No coincidence then that for ‘For Everything Under the Sun’, his recently released third album, Lipinski was sought out by Wolf Alice & Elvis Costello producer Michael Smith who had the same desire as Anton to work with a voice that Rock & Reel magazine describes as “channelling the best tones of Lennon and Orbison and makes them his own”, and songs which BBC Radio 6 legend Tom Robinson declares “sweep you up and carry you along.

Released digitally, across all platforms; as well as on vinyl and CD through www.alexlipinski.com: The new album ‘For Everything Under the Sun’ ensured that Alex performed on festival main stages across The UK in 2022, with his band ‘The Crown Electric’.

On the strength of those performances, one of which was caught by Marc Almond’s musical director, Neal X – Alex played alongside Marc in Berlin’s iconic Passionskirche: and was then invited to continue as sole support for Marc’s sold out UK tour: Bringing with it the chance to perform in some iconic venues, including The London Palladium, and Birmingham Symphony Hall. Alex is currently in Europe supporting Marc, again at Marc’s request. 

This is a truly articulate piece of work, from a songwriter who has served his apprenticeship. A lot of miles covered in what he himself acknowledges has been the only choice he ever had. From caressing sympathy to full-throated resentment, Lipinski has grabbed unwary listeners from the West Country to Krakow, Berlin & New York, since he first left Somerset to become a crucial habitué of Soho’s legendary, lost, 12-Bar Club.

The brand-new single, ‘Idiot Station’ is scheduled for release in May 2023 on Marquee Records/Universal Music. To mark the release of ‘Idiot Station’ Alex returns to play live up and down the country in a series of in-store semi-acoustic performances, from Glasgow to Brighton, and including a drop-in at Microdot, in Manchester, because Brian Cannon, and Bonehead are mates, and they asked nicely.

The art of telling stories and a pulling together of things.

The hard work has been years in the getting done. All you have to do now - is listen…

For Everything Under The Sun, the new album from Alex Lipinski album, is out now on Mi Casa Music.
