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 30th 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/batch507

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.

Beast In The Water:

A haunting waltz exploring the myth of the River Man, who keeps the town safe from floodings and drownings in return for an annual human sacrifice. But does the ‘real’ beast lurk underwater or on land…? 

Taken from... 
Hypnagogia: 

To celebrate my first time visiting and performing in Scandinavia this October (and my love of Halloween and spooky season!) I spent the recent heatwave with the curtains closed, soaking up the rich, magical, darkness of Scandinavian horror folklore! I’ve conjured up four new dark narratives in celebration of the turn of the season and teamed up once again with musical warlock Ed Harcourt to bring you ‘Hypnagogia’ – an auditory horror show, featuring the dulcet tones of esteemed actor David Morrissey; acting as our very own Vincent Price. Expect to hear stories of nightmare demonesses, monsters lurking underwater, the goddess of decay off for a night on the town, and terrifying illuminations luring loved ones into the forest… It’s a musical mixed bag of everything from thrashing rock to spooky synths, to David Lynch and Tim Burton inspired cinematic soundscapes.

Buried in the commuter crush
People are bust
Adjusted to just existing
Missing the music of their lives
And I am
One unsung among them too
Not young not old
Just bought and sold
A lost soul soldiering on
Alongside these comrades
The revolution never comes

Oh what were we taught?
How did I get caught?

When once I trembled on Jerolim
My eyes on the sea through the trees
And my shorts around my ankles
Wasn’t I there?
Didn’t I swear there on Jerolim
I’d not become one of the sad silent suffering crowd?
But Jerolim
Look at me now


Pacing through pines the line of my desire tight 
I crossed the threshold of my fear hearing the music of my life
And there along the shore they stood
My fellow men who understood
I took their hands in gay abandon and we sang love songs
As we wandered back inland

Owning our bodies
Knowing we were free

Now all I have of Jerolim
Are memories in a body
Employed for a bad end
Who was it there
That dared on Jerolim
To not be just one of the sad silent suffering crowd?
What happened to him
Jerolim

Jerolim

"Magic" is a 90s-something, guitar-driven alt-pop track that highlights the willing, yet often unintelligent resignation of one's trust in people and things that are glaringly and obviously untrue. The track explores WHY we find much hardship in walking away from that which destroys us.
