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 10th October: 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/batch462

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 462

LDN is one track from the forthcoming album. A club banger.

Someone asked not give up on them
So I said what why would I give up
Let the explaining begin
You can let it drop even just a drop
I ain't no one who has no sin
I ain't gonna not be at least understanding
So let's just take this one step and
If it gets too hot we can just stop

An Is As If Eh

ALWAYS A TEASPOON (Hytch)

‘If you’re still leaving’ is one of the pivotal moments from elkyn's debut album, 'holy spirit social club', released in March 2022. A masterclass in tension and release, graceful guitar work with a gorgeous ambient undertow, the track is revisited here and stripped to its human essentials. Backed with two acoustic reworks of other elkyn songs, recorded at UK radio sessions earlier this year.

'holy spirit social club's release was backed by an extensive UK tour alongside ST Manville followed by dates with LOVE. The vinyl release came courtesy of Curation Records, the label run by Brent Rademaker of Beachwood Sparks. Media and retail support came from the likes of Record Collector, Shindig!, RnR Magazine, Americana UK, Atwood, Secret Meeting, For the Rabbits, God Is In The TV, Joyzine, BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Amazing Radio, Rough Trade, Norman, Record Store and more.

LYRICS
Pretty Baby the war bells have chimed
No need for halos get messy make them cry
Merrymaking a caustic change of heart
Move the needle turn it counter clockwise

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

Smash those demons that fill your vacant pause
Take what’s yours break their witty jaws
Play with havoc and take your final bow
You’ll see reflections of your own applause

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

The silence of the night
Crawling slowly and out of sight
Hapless touch of fire in your eyes
A crown of thorns dimming your light

Redeemer of sins that stands on the edge
A promise that aches of pretend
A dreamer rudely awakened
 Desire that drives you to the end

Locked in stone a heart full of lies
Take the bones and fall through the whys
Just a tremor of all you despise
Anoint the pain enjoy your sacrifice

Redeemer of sins that stands on the edge
A promise that aches of pretend
A dreamer rudely awakened
A desire that drives you to the end

Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time
Pretty baby don’t fret the sun will rise
Pretty baby you’re running out of time

Pretty Baby, oh pretty baby

Heartbreak Autobahn

First single from the album, 'Self Sabotage'

Panic in Paradise

It's been a busy year, gigs have started and Disco in Sochi are back for one last blast with their soft, raunchy power pop ballad "OMG!".

A blend of big beat drums grooving to a low end synth. Think a poppy LCD Soundsystem with a fat groove and sweet melodies.

"OMG!" is out 15/11/24.

OMG!

The third single from the 3rd album by a Lesser Version.

It Was Wrong (And I Know It Was)

Whisper Thinking

Written and performed by by The Trusted (Tom Cunningham, Dale Holt Mead, Finlay Cunningham, David Batchelor)

Overdrive (Switch Off)

a person will have a people
but a human has a race
people divide all not alike 
yet humans are all the same
