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 14th June: 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/batch410

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 410

Weekends are Made for Two is a song about lonely weekends

Weekends Are Made for Two: Contains strong language

Midnight Crush (MASTER)

Alternative art-rap collective Ceiling Demons share ‘From The Womb To The Grave,’ the first single from their forthcoming album ‘Snakes & Ladders.’

Featuring production by George 'Beat Demon' Ruston, and beats composed by the group's guitarist, Chris Shaw, ‘From The Womb To The Grave’ delivers poetic wordplay against a backdrop of electronic rhythms. 

This electronic exorcism into ethereal synthesised realms is accompanied by live drums and guitar to soundtrack the lyrical themes which touch on cycles of life, death and rebirth. Epitomised by the reoccurring chorus ‘From the womb to the grave, from the tomb to the cave’ these lyrics act as a chant throughout the track. This single paints images of the power of nature, self-mastery and unity in broken times which feels fitting for the current climate in 2021.

‘From The Womb To The Grave’ offers up a small taste of Ceiling Demons upcoming album ‘Snakes & Ladders.’ The album is a rich body of work that features contributions from folk songstress Zarahruth, Celtic jazz violinist Andy Lawrenson and vocals from dub/reggae pioneer Lee Scratch Perry. The eclectic variation of sounds and styles highlights Ceiling Demons gift of drifting between genres, from fragile acoustic numbers to slick electronic beats, and post-rock inspired arrangements. This collection of songs highlights the group’s growth as a band and is arguably their strongest and most unique work to date.

Lyrics:
I wrote the code into the snow
Flakes turn to water, liquid will flow
Into the soul, rivers to roads
Time will decide, love and let go

Now ripple form the middle of the room
Little tipple, form a riddle for the doomed
Leave a message for the people
Who believe we should be equal
Two halves, harvest, now grow like a forest
Ancient leaves leave remedies 
Burn these trees if you please
But share life’s breath, we’ll all decease  

From the womb to the grave, from the tomb to the cave
From the womb to the grave from the tomb to the cave
From the womb to the grave from the tomb to the cave
To the moon ‘til it fades and we move and we praise

‘Til we’re doomed but we’re saved, ‘til we’re doomed but we’re saved
And we move and we’ praise ‘til we’re doomed but we’re saved
In a room, in a place, in a tomb made safe
In a room, in a place in a tomb made safe

Kick off, the anchor rises
Lightweight dreamers vanquish, survivors
Scattered throughout the lands
Float on water or sink in sands
Unplanned, this life casts many numbers
Just roll the dice of thunder
and hear it roar like a tiger as it strikes
Never once, but twice
You might just realise
That everyone you know some day will die
Floating in space, blind
The actor’s been out of work for a long, long time
Acting out lies and reciting these lines
Believing in the belly of the hopeless, tin can challenge
Confront yourself and deal the damage
Become the savage
Wild at heart, carnage
Trapped in the dark heartless carriage
Carried away

Ceiling Demons are an alternative art-rap band from rural northern England. Born out of bereavement and taking influence from artists such as The Streets, Joy Division, Tricky and Serengeti. Combining poetic wordplay from front men and twin brothers; Psy Ceiling and Dan Demon over cinematic instrumentals, Ceiling Demons aim to strike your heartstrings with their intense and chaotic performances touching on themes of love and loss. Art over entertainment, delivered with a punk philosophy. The Demons are strong advocates of addressing mental health issues in their art and have worked extensively with suicide prevention charities such as CALM to raise awareness and funds for a cause close to their hearts. They’ve also supported the likes of Young Fathers, Sleaford Mods and Busdriver among other favourites and are championed by Louder Than War and NARC Magazine in the UK for their passionate live shows. Their critically acclaimed album Nil has been released by two independent record labels since it first emerged in late 2017 with Win Big Records initially putting out the album on CD and cassette formats before DIY record label; Butterfly Effect re-issued the album as a beautiful limited vinyl in 2018 with profits going towards mental health charity - Men Tell Health.

'With Nil descends a darkness, themes of male suicide, of loneliness, and lost hope prevail but with a sense of positivity that everything will and can be overcome.' 9/10 - Louder Than War
