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 24th April 2023: 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/batch485

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.

Part Gold, Part Garbage - Before Division Order (2005-2016)

I Only Said

5th song from our debut EP To Crash And Burn. Official release 21st April.

There's A Way To Beat This

it happened again, beyond my control
beyond my control, beyond my
everything, you stained, coloring it all
everything i own
invading my brain, beyond my control
beyond my control, beyond my
it happened again, again

will you be my painkiller?
no need to talk, just come over
will you?
will you be my painkiller?
no need to touch, just get closer

it has gone into my every pore
my every pore, my every
will you wash it off, wash it off my soul
wash it off
will you heat me up, my every bone
my every bone, my every
it has gone into my every pore

will you be my
will you be my
will you be my

will you be my painkiller?
no need to talk, just come over
will you?
will you be my painkiller?
no need to touch, just get closer

Will you be my painkiller?

With raw instrumentation, tight harmonies and bursting positivity, Distant Stars encourages selflessness and how loving another can help us open up to the boundless beauty of the universe. Produced by Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene) and mastered by Julian Lowe (Faithless).

Distant Stars

One More Problem dives into the depths of self-esteem and our seeming inabilities in this day and age to respect ourselves. This track explores the journey of allowing yourself to like who you are, and attempts to dispel the negative thoughts we tell ourselves in order to avoid facing and overcoming the challenges we most need to. It explores topics such as Anxiety, Confidence and our inner demons. This song has already gained traction on Spotify (through playlists and algorithmic placements), with our debut music video being released this weekend (30th April)! We were also lucky enough to have this song produced by Scott Goodrich (Story So Far).

Not J - One More Problem (Clean)

i'm killing all my plants
they never stand a chance
away from me they run
i've never had a green thumb
every sunflower
gives me the cold shoulder
away from me they turn
i'm jealous of the sun

i take one look
and the leaves turn brown
i say one word
and they all fall down
my garden is a graveyard
my garden is a graveyard

i think I overwatered you
watched it wilt like a flower
do you think I overwatered you
drowned my every lover

i have dyed my hair green
even painted my skin
i've tried dressing like them
but we'll never be friends
gardening isn't for me
i'm killing every seed
there's no need to pretend
we will never be friends

i take one look
and the leaves turn brown
i say one word
and they all fall down
my garden is a graveyard
my garden is a graveyard

i think I overwatered you
watched it wilt like a flower
do you think I overwatered you
drowned my every lover

my garden is a graveyard

i'm killing all my plants
they never stand a chance
away from me they run
i've never had a green thumb

Ungreen thumb

you're flat and shiny
you never look at me
i only see you
two-dimensionally
you're looking happy
but you don't smile at me
i only know you
two-dimensionally

paperboy, paperboy
you're made out of paper, boy
you might be perfectly drawn
you're nothing but paper, boy

why do I ache for a stranger
why do I bleed when it's over
why do I ache, ache, ache, ache
why do I bleed
for you

ANDRÆ - Kill (Another Enigma Remix)

Je me sens bien

ANDRÆ is an independent one-man band leading his own project, associating dark electronic and organic sounds with soulful vocals. Initially influenced by soul and jazz singers like Brenda Lee, Ray Charles and Nina Simone, he also starts showing interest in experimental pop artists like James Blake, serpentwithfeet and Sevdaliza.

Currently based in London, originally from Brussels, he begins to show a natural talent for all kinds of artistic disciplines, especially visual arts, as a way of escaping a world that does not seem to accept him. He later taught himself piano at a young age, then turned to songwriting and music production in his teens. After releasing a few songs over the past few years, being featured on many blogs and airplayed on shows like BBC 6 Introducing, he prepares a new project: an EP that will come out in the second half of 2020. ‘I don’t fall, I crash’ will be the first song to be released. All songs are written, composed and produced by him, he also designs the artwork and visuals of his projects. 

ANDRÆ sings about his own experiences. He believes in accepting and celebrating our flaws, as we do for any other part of ourselves: « Embrace your weirdness, swim against the current, keep questionning how we think and function as humans. »

Andrae - Scarlet

never will i ever fall
downward, i am climbing
every law is ignored
in spaces i'm building
never will i ever fall
downward, i am ascending
the only road i follow
is the one i'm creating

i keep on climbing
negative mountains
downward, i'm climbing
i'm climbing, i'm climbing

i'm in a negative space
living beneath the ground
right at the very same place
standing upside down
as the alien you made
i live beneath the ground
right at the very same place
standing upside down

i keep on climbing
negative mountains
downward, i'm climbing
i'm climbing, i'm climbing

negative mountains, negative mountains
negative mountains, negative mountains

Negative mountains
