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 23rd June 2021: 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/batch411

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.

Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via soundcloud.com/groups/dropbox anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning 7th March 2016: from mid-day 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/batch189

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150 tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)


ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 189

Tibs

Out 04 june.

Ive heard it all before, everything twice.
When your eyes look to the door, it only tightened the vice.

Now I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming 
I feel the pain coming

So pick me off the floor, turn off the lights.
For when my mind goes overboard, it'll crave your advice

Still I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming 
I feel the pain coming

So don't you go and tell me, that I mean nothing to you now.
Don't you know it hurts me, to hear those words come out your mouth?

So don't you go and tell me, that I mean nothing to you now
Don't you know it hurts me, to hear those words come out your mouth?

Still I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming 
I feel the pain coming

So don't you go and tell me, that I mean nothing to you now.
Don't you know it hurts me, to hear those words come out your mouth?

Pain Coming

Deprived is the first single by Brinkman - a singer-songwriter of latvian descent based between Venice and Milan in Italy. Deprived is a solo comeback after many years of staying quiet

Brinkman

Deprived

‘Summer’ the new single from Lewis McLaughlin is a testament to the simple joys of being young, having few cares in the world, whatever the weather. It brings musical escapism - asking us to leave our worries in the house and enjoy a moment with others in the sun. It draws influence from traditional forms and filters them with a contemporary lens to blend alt folk and rock into something unique.

A choir of Lewis’ rich musical network gels the track; “the song has always been very strongly focused on inclusion, community and togetherness. I hope that comes across in this version and the music video.” 

It was recorded in Glasgow where he currently lives. He is 20 years old and was inspired by the likes of John Martyn and Villagers to begin writing and recording his own songs.

LYRICS:

don’t say a word 
like your lips are sentries
you won’t make a sound 
cos your lungs will be empty

don’t think a thought 
cos we can see you have plenty
and you paid for the view
there’s no time for repenting

don’t look away cos we have a reminder 
your life to us is as a fly to the spider
and we need you to see just what we do with insiders
so look to the sky ‘cos the stars cannot hide us

go to sleep now, don’t you use your mind
for in your mind, are the answers
mm, we don’t want you to find

say it’s absurd, just once out of twenty
to keep yourself sane, from all that is empty

you don’t feel the gap
don’t see the trap
but you fill it with empty

go to sleep now
stop, take a nap
need you to see
stop, take a nap

Stop, Take A Nap - Duncan Alex

HEATH - The Outline Of You

What's Good ?

SABOTACHI, the new band from Duncan Alex.

In the Worlds before SABOTACHI, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order. Magically upon a rock old as Creation, there was spawned an egg. Inside it, playing arpeggios on a miniature stratocaster was the newborn rock child Ian Davey. He did much wandering, water-walking, and doodling on the instrument. Then, many, many, many years later, there flew from Mountains of the Cradle, a sole raven, bearing a tiny funky monkey. Upon reaching the foothills, the bird relinquished upon the fair land this infant, named Duncan Alex, who was at the time busy listening to radio recordings on a miniature Aiwa walkman. The nature of this monkey was irrepressible! And since Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, “With our thoughts we make the world”, when a kindly priest brought together our two heroes for a common interest, their thoughts combined with the elemental forces of musical magic, created a new band. This band was like no other, and there would never be anything like it again. They had created SABOTACHI.
