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 2nd May: 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/batch445

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.

„Nigel The Gannet“ by The Burning Hell 
off forthcoming album Garbage Island (June 24) https://bbislandmusic.com/shop/the-burning-hell-garbage-island-vinyl-cd


The Burning Hell preview the upcoming and highly anticipated opus/epic Garbage Island with a sweet-hearted examination of the life of an individual in society, a world filled with good intentions but inevitable misunderstandings. 

It just so happens that it’s the story of a bird: Nigel The Gannet. 

(Nigel the Gannet is the true story of a gannet in New Zealand, who briefly became an international media star when he died of old age next to the concrete decoy gannet he had chosen as his mate. Though the press spun his story as a lonely one, the band takes a different perspective:)

Gently referencing XTC’s own Making Plans for Nigel, but trading the capitalist alienation and dread for a warmer new wave of synth hooks and programmed swing, The Burning Hell celebrate the loner, the non-conformist, and a life on the edge, aware of the difference between being lonely and being alone.

The animated video for the song was done by Ariel Sharratt, who says: "Ultimately, as a smallish band if there's something we want to do, we usually have to do it ourselves. That was the case for this video, where I learned some basics of animation and then taught myself on the job. This was my first animation project, and I absolutely loved the process of creating a world for Nigel to navigate -- a world that's like ours: full of incredible beauty, colossal waste and destruction, and hopefully some sort of happy ending."

Lonesome

Lyrics:

I remember your tail lights, and the nondescript conversations, 
Trails of jet engines and walking to my door,
Would you be dead, if I’d said two words more? 

I remember the debris, and your faces lit like a rave,
Patterns of glass reflecting in the crescent moon,
A fine rain dripping down like a wound

And I don’t know what I’d do, if that truck had taken all of you,
I think the moon may disappear
But a fraction of a second kept you here

Well my little brother told me time is stolen,
And the wolves come for everyone,
But I wonder if the wreckage was an omen,
When it’s time, I think I, 
When it's time, I think I 

And I don’t know what I’d do, if that truck had taken all of you,
I think the moon may disappear,
But a fraction of a second,
But a fraction of a second,
Kept you here

Fraction of a Second

01 Together Alone

After continuing to build her reputation and fanbase in 2020 despite COVID-19 putting a stop to many of her plans, Katherine Priddy is ensuring the momentum continues into 2021 with a new digital release of a much loved Daniel Johnston song, ‘True Love Will Find You in the End’, just in time for Valentine’s Day. The cover of this cult hero’s track features more beautiful strings from Harry Fausing Smith, as heard on her recent Winter release ‘Still Winter, Still Waiting”, as well as her soft, pure vocals, trademark harmonies and fingerpicking guitar style. There is no doubt that Priddy has made this song her own and her arrangement gives it an entirely new sound, whilst honouring the tenderness and simplicity of the original tune. It’s the perfect, realistic love song for a Valentine’s day in lockdown - just keep waiting, love will find a way.

Written by Daniel Johnston.
Vocals, guitar and percussion performed by Katherine Priddy and recorded by George Boomsma. Strings arranged, performed and recorded by Harry Fausing Smith.
Mixed and produced by Simon J Weaver.
