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 7th March: 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/batch439

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.

The Edge of the Land

The Edge Of The Land

An indie funk explosion of sunny day festival vibes.

Calm Down

Cowards

'Tonic' is taken from Brand New Moon's second album 'A Quiet Place to Land' which was released in September via Same Page Records.

Combining expansive, evolving sound-worlds with vivid melodies and intricate lyricism the album reveals a yearning to escape the restless claustrophobia of recent times - an ode to blue skies, new landscapes, and the hope of re-connection.

Produced & mixed by Mike Barrett
Additional mixing by Mathew Keightley
Mastered by Nick Powell

Tonic

A lucid dream-like adventure where a godlike figure attempts to grant all of a person’s wishes by carving them all kinds of exciting things out of the clouds. But a sad dog keeps appearing so the deity swallows the sky not understanding that the person wanted to confront the whole spectrum of their emotions, including the sad dog chasing them around.

Black Dog

Track one from ep1, the follow-up to amateur theatre group's debut album, races 1990 - 2021. The four-track EP is the beginning of a string of releases planned for 2022, including a second album towards the end of the year. ep1 is out 18 March 2022.

05 Be The One

Repeater's bitter-sweet melody, grounded by hypnotic beats and razor-sharp riffs lay the foundations of a psych-rock—psych-pop sound that'll wash you within the darkest wave to show you an illusion that you’ll never quite see.

Repeater

Orchestral soundscape.

I've been "testing" some gorgeous string orchestra libraries I have because next week I have a job to do with it, mostly quiet orchestral pads and soft beds. So This junto comes at the right time to try that, I played some quiet episodes combining different sample libraries and different convolutions reverbs and some Valhalla Supermassive.
The only real instrument I played is the bowed double bass, triple-tracked.
I tried to leave some pure silence a couple of time, filling it with pure reverb and resonances, I'm not sure the silent parts are what I was aiming for, I may rework this during the week end, but this is the result of this morning's work (Friday October the 20th)

Sit Waiting

Black Valentine (Best of)

Gas Mask Blues

Winter Song
Lyrics: Anna Tabbush, Music: Trad. Swedish

Winter Song is about the things we do to survive the cold and darkness of winter: lighting fires, gathering friends around us and having faith that spring will come.

The music is based on a traditional Swedish psalm.

Winter Song - Anna Tabbush + Ben & Dom

Inspector Clueless

Old school slacker rock energy infused with pop melodies underlain with a contemporary commentary on todays drugged fuelled teen and twenty something evenings in middle England.

See You On Fire
