Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via soundcloud.com/groups/dropbox anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning 7th March 2016: from mid-day 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/batch189

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150 tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)


ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 189

me, a guitar, a drum machine, and a whole bunch of distortion pedals....what could possibly go wrong...
(btw the photo is William S. Burroughs' rusting Datson - I visited his house in Lawrence Kansas - beautiful huh?)

cowman -crunch- 4. Tobacco Eyes (radio edit)

cowman has been milking the farmyard since 2005. This is a track from the forthcoming single "Bomb Culture", the follow up to acclaimed 2022 album "slaughter". Bomb Culture is a tribute to Keith Levene and Manchester avant-garde legend Jeff Nuttall. A slash to the face of music.

cowman - Bomb

NTR07 - Apparitions [sample]

This track started as an experiment with reverb and repetition, with the lyrics a riff on Adrienne Rich's love poetry, exploring how external forces can bend and distort our love for another.

"The Lost Letters" are musician Ben J Heal and Taiwanese singer Fulya, who together started experimenting with lo-fi dream-pop music in 2023. The self-titled album, coming soon on Coju Recordings, comments on originality and authenticity by cutting up literary sources and blending analog and digital recordings. Ben's been a member of art-rock stalwarts "birdbath since 1994, and his "cowman" noise-rock project has released several albums on Ingue Records. His other projects include 2014’s cacophony of synth and gong "Hitobashira-ni". and 2016’s drony acid-folk experiment as "morimori". The "Coaxial" project further explores drone, plagiarism and electronica. All available on tape or DL via Bandcamp.

2024 is twenty years of Shit And Shine
 
‘Rum And Coke’ comes stumbling out the speakers with the week old stench of an alcoholic exiting his late night hideaway into the sunshine of a new day
 
Rum And Coke is the sound playing inside his fermented brain as he heads of in search of his next tipple
 
It’s grimey, it’s noisy. It’s a bit of a bastard.
 
Heavy, impenetrable layers of gnarled guitars, slurred vocals, pounding drums all wrapped in a blanket of thick sludge

Side B of the third in the Kim Deal 7" solo series (side A is Are You Mine?)

Kim Deal - Wish I Was

Raum Kingdom -  Lost In The Hunt

These works are recorded in Jinan, China during 2015's summer. Due to time constraints and a variety of important matters, the post-processing has repeatedly delayed. Until today, we decided to put them out. We have listened these tracks so many times that we have puked for several weeks. But in any case, personally, these music had undeniable significance to me.

There are a lot of things that supposed to be re-recorded, but we have no chance. Also, as time goes by the feelings have gone.
I'm here to share with you shamelessly.
