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 15th June: from around midday 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/batch370

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 will be invisible to everyone. 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.

Hegemony out on 7" vinyl with download link for a Midsummer release
Website: http://www.chalkhorsemusic.com/video

Our new single Hegemony is coming out midsummer. It's a hybrid of traditional song Sweet Lemeney, collected by The Copper Family, with lyrics from Green Gartside's reinterpretation in 1978 and our own arrangement.

It's being released as a 7” vinyl with download link, along with b-side The Devil and the Farmer.

It was only last year we realised Hegemony's folkloric links and that it had been inspired by the traditional song Sweet Lemeney, that's traditionally sung at midsummer. The melody we've used is closer to the traditional version and I'm grateful to Green Gartside for allowing us to use his ever relevant lyrics without hearing what we would do with it.

Hegemony... leadership or dominance, especially by one state or social group over others

hegemony, hegemony
you are the fairest creature
you are the fairest creature that ever I have seen,
and it's all for Monopoly
on all those pretty sensibles
that rot and raze a nation the capacity for change

hegemony, hegemony
you are the foulest creature
you are the foulest creature that set upon a race,
you can generate and dissipate
but only very stupidly
such it is the splendour of popular control

how do you do this?
how can you do it to me?
when all you are is ordinary, it's pretty common sense
you are natural, immutable and everyone exquisites you
as common sense
and common sense is things just as they are

In seeking licensing permission we approached Rough Trade’s Geoff Travis. He said, ‘a very pleasant surprise… didn’t expect those horn blasts… a lovely spirited full-bodied version.’

Hegemony

Insomaniac is a word I created to describe a person who enjoys staying up late at night. This track is my celebration of the night, its unique sounds and vibe.
