A lovely song sympathetically put together.

...thank you, that's the kind of music I really like - brilliant arrangement!

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 26th April: 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/batch403

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 403

Limited 7" Vinyl / Digital: TheAllergies.lnk.to/LeanOnYou

Despite the troubles globally faced in 2020, it’s safe to say that The Allergies bucked the trend and came back by ultimately having a rather glorious year. Releasing their fourth studio album, achieving the ‘A List’ on BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio Eins in Berlin, climbing high in the NACC US college charts, and generally receiving critical acclaim from a world that had an understandable appetite for some joyful and fun music in their lives.

2021 shows no signs of things slowing down. The heat continues for their 2020 album Say The Word with Pioneer, Liptons and IAMS all taking Allergies tracks for their global advertising campaigns. Rather than rest on their laurels, though, the guys went full lockdown creative and have their fifth album due for release in September, 2021.

“Jumping Off” was the first new track from the album to be debuted at the end of 2020 – A self-sampling version of their 2018 track “Main Event”. As with all Allergies tracks of late, the limited 7” release caused a Discogs feeding frenzy.

Now, The Allergies power forward with the first single of the 2021 album campaign – An absolute dancefloor destroyer featuring legend of the mic, Dynamite MC, entitled “Lean On You”.

The Allergies first hooked up with Dyna on previous album Say The Word for the fan favour-ite “Hot Sensation”. But, scheduling clashes with Dynamite’s own album release meant that a single outing for that track was not possible.

No such issues this time round means The Allergies kick off their 2021 album with a serious club and radio contender to move things to the next level.

It’s a stylistic new lane for the Bristol-based beatmakers. Their trademark heavy drum chops now flowing on half time tempos, with blues guitars riffs front and centre. The perfect back-ing, then, for the UK rap legend to find his theme and raise the roof.

The 7” is backed by “Working On Me” – A classic Allergies-style screamer with a taste of funky swamp rock, updated for your favourite dancefloor/kitchen/outside space, with five other people…

String arrangement by Claire Hollocks 
Cello - Claire Hollocks 
Violin - Sally Merson  
Viola - Penny Snelling 

With Human Good we find Johnno in a rich vein of form - rather than wallowing in the depressing Post Brexit, post Trump landscape Human Good strikes an optimistic tone as Johnno takes you on a journey of people rich stories from a wide array of characters – we hear of fraudsters, pimps, prostitutes, drinkers, users and abuser’s and simple everyday folk just trying to make sense of this world. 
Alongside love letters to England and Johnno’s home town of Colchester, Human Good is shot through with a sense of defiance and optimism that everything will work itself out and be alright in the end.

Melodic, passionate and full of sweet surprises - come and find out about Human Good.

Lyrics

My dearheart I’ve wronged you
Showed your face disdain and turned away
Forgive me, I’ve fallen back in love with thee
The fickle make mistakes
In a world so strange

The good takes on the badness
The joy takes on the pain
The light takes on the darkness
And sends it back again
Sends it back again

Gentle days 
To soothe a troubled soul
Essex skies, contagious
Calming nights
Upon a Roman town
Hallowed ground beneath us

Oh London you shaped me
You gave me the gift of youth then locked away
Echoes down the track to Rectory Road
Across the Downs for love and the eternal code
Of good and family

People doth protest too much
It makes our future itch
People love to bitch too much
We are human, we have frailties
We are striving to be free


Gentle days 
To soothe a troubled soul
Essex skies, contagious
Calming nights
Upon a Roman town
Solid ground beneath us

Can’t give you up, I’ve fallen in love 
I plan to stay
I can’t give you up, I’ve fallen in love
I plan to stay
Stay, for those gentle days
Oh those gentle days


(C) Johnno Casson 2017
