Name: Lightness Of Being by Def Robot in ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 479
Duration: 3 min 17 s
Description: Upcoming single and track from the 18th album which is currently being recorded.

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 27 February: 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/batch479

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.

Sooner Or Later

Night Noise Team is Sean Ormsby and Fabien Pinardon. Originally from Belfast and Paris but now living in Edinburgh and London. NNT has a sly way with a lyric, a melody, an arrangement. They draw from a well of chansons, funk, rock, pop and soundtrack music. 

New single Little Shocks is direct, European, dancefloor pop with a lyric seesawing between Edinburgh and Barcelona and beats vacillating from brittle to euphoric.

Little Shocks

Misunderstood jumps and jitters into a full-on punk assault right from the off. Speeding through your brain like an out of control, amphetamine powered steam train, the track manages to spit out venomous tounge in cheek lyrics that call out a hypercritical society, where people take the moral high ground without thinking of the consequences of their own actions. So jump in, hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Lightness Of Being

A conversation between two lovers.

LYRICS
Cold as ice, caught in the passing of time
I didn’t understand the things that you do
So I settle you down,
“Take in the moment, it’s not gonna come back around”
But you frowned and said:
“For some things in life, you gotta keep those feet on the ground”

I take comfort in you, but That’s All
I don’t feel like you do and That’s All
and sooner or later you won’t want me hanging around

Don’t just stare at the ground
For some things in life are waiting just to be found
And no doubt, I need you tonight
To keep me from just dropping out

I take comfort in you and That’s All
I don’t feel like you do and That’s All
and sooner or later you might just need me around

Is it true…what you say?
Is it true…you’re drifting away?
All that you say…is it even remotely the truth?

Have I lost you?

That's All (Duo Version)

Demons is taken from the 19th Def Robot album ‘After the end came; They carried on’, which was released on 01/01/2024.
With influences including Fugazi, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Dark Wave and Blade Runner amongst others, it’s an apocalyptic tale of the world today.

After the end came they carried on

Dream Tomorrow

This was a track that never saw the light of day.  Furball was a band I was part of, in the mid nineties.  We only lasted about 15 months.  I played the guitar (badly!)
