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 29 January, 2024 : 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/batchxxx

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 516

Combined with a savvy, creative approach to composing, his smooth vocals, which have been likened to Elliot Smith, push through well-crafted lyrics prone to sharp thematic shifts; veering from anti-establishment to personal heartbreak to the abstract and esoteric, flirting with Modern Rock and Permanent Wave genres.

Bryan has previously worked with producer Mark Wallis (Smiths, Blur, Travis).

Flirting with art-rock, 'Robots On Mute' shakes hands with Bach, Radiohead and Jeff Buckley to deliver an anecdotal commentary on society's seemingly perverse appetite for dystopia.

P.I.N.N. (A.I. Disorder Mix)

Everything's Pink

Envy, an introspective song, addresses the poignant realization that true fulfillment eludes us when we covet what others possess and the yearning for things which later in life we realize aren't the things to strive for.

Envy

This 4 track collection is my most important work to date, kicking off with the melancholic 'Mach 1', before the rousing 'Sub Rosa'. The stripped back acoustic performance of 'Thaw' eases into 'Deserter', an anthemic finale.

When The Streets Fall Silent

Hailing from Yorkshire, England, now living in Japan, Bryan Cooper is a melodic guitarist with a savvy, creative approach to songwriting. Evoking echoes of Coxon, Butler, Greenwood and Squire.
