Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 1st June: from around midday on Friday 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/batch368

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 will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 368

The title song / single & a b-side from a new EP I'll be releasing via usual streaming & download outlets on Fri April 23rd 2021.

There will be an album - 'Afal' - a little later in the year. It's all finished and off to be pressed at the magic vinyl sonic induction factory.

'Have You Seen Lyra Today?' won't be on the album. It had a late night out and this is its punishment. It laughed when I told it.

All these songs were recorded at home.

My neighbours are saints, and my garden is very very overgrown, but you only live once, right?

Thanks for listening / diolch am wrando.

Live at Hot Numbers 28 Nov 2013

This is the first track released from debut record 48 Hours with David Ford and Annie Dressner.

Recorded live at Echo Zoo Studios, Eastbourne.


Something strange is happening
I’ve never seen this before
My heart beats a little faster
And I think a little harder
‘Cause I don’t want any trouble down the road

I can see the warning sign
But I can’t seem to stop myself now
I’m so far from home
And it all feels so familiar
And I read all the books, but I couldn’t find the answer

If we carry on like this
I don’t know what damage we might do
And if we go and breakdown
I don’t know how I would make it home without you

The same road feels so different somehow
I didn’t notice the change
I’ll get myself together
Take it all a little slower
But everytime I see you
I’m reminded of the danger

If we carry on like this
I don’t know what damage we might do
And if we go and breakdown
I don’t know if I could to make it home without you

I’d turn it off if I could
I’d wish that I had never noticed
But now the sun is coming up
It all feels the same

If we go on like this
I don’t know what damage we might do
And if we go and breakdown
I don’t if I could make it home with you
Would I even want to make it home without you?

Warning Sign

See Saw

"Believe You're Mine" (from You Know Who You Are)

Again is a mellow but uplifting folk song about the power of hope, doubt and imagination when falling in love. The age old conflict of "he loves me, he loves me not”...

Music & Lyrics by Marit Røkeberg
Additional music by Anil Sebastian and Sam Vicary
Produced by Anil Sebastian and engineered, mixed and mastered by Cherif Hashizume
Recorded at Cafe Music Studios, London

Again

The first proper and full length tune from Flat MOOON

Vultures

It's never been easy for us my dear,
To understate a thing or two.
It's been a long road of hardship, of pain and tears,
But I'd walk it all again just for you.

A fool and his money are easily parted,
And a fool and his heart even more.
I've been climbing to reach you for so damn long,
But I never quite get off the floor.

I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice, until the day I die.

I'm all alone out here my dear,
There's no-one here to hear me shout.
I'd look for a place I could make my home,
But I'm in space and I'm freaking out.

Out of all the places that I could go,
And all the things that I could do;
When there are so many different infinite choices,
And the only thing I choose is you...

I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice until the day I die.
I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one moves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
Until the day I die...the day I die.

And I know that some things ain't meant to be,
But there's a feeling I get when you're close to me;
And this foolish old heart that's inside of me,
Just keeps me hanging on...

I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice until the day I die.
I'll be a fool for you,
'Cos no-one loves me, the way you do.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice until the day I die.

I'll be a fool.
I'll be a fool for you,
I'll make a sacrifice, until the day I die.
I'll be a fool.

Moved from New York City to the UK.

Dressner's poignant songs are delivered with such conversational ease, it often seems as if she is reading from an intimate letter or a book, set to music. Her straightforward lyrical style, sharp ear for wordplay and crisp, lilting vocals offer listeners a front-row seat to her stories, as they take shape above the understated music.

Her quirky debut album, "Strangers Who Knew Each Other's Names" (2011) was featured via iTunes. As seen in the reviews, Dressner is making a strong connection with listeners. The collection of 11 original songs at times evokes Bright Eyes, an up-tempo Mazzy Star ‘Fade Into You,’ or Jenny Lewis.

While in New York, Annie played a variety of clubs and bars since 2009, including Rockwood Music Hall, The Living Room, The Bitter End and Brooklyn's Jalopy. Since arriving in the UK, Annie has played at venues & Festivals throughout England, such as the Cluny2, O2 Academy Islington, Norwich Arts Centre, Night & Day, Secret Garden Party, Deer Shed, Cambridge Folk Festival, and has opened for Juan Zelada, Lucy Wainwright Roche & Fossil Collective.
