Mo’s Mix Tapes 14.12.23

Batch 514

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 15th January 2024: 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/batch514

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.

Lyrics - 
The stars are not light
The sky is really blue
The Earth is not round
There’s a man on the moon

The ozone is fine
The sea won’t ever rise
Elvis is alive
And you are still mine

I don’t believe what you tell me
I don’t believe that it’s true
I’ve no time for your nonsense
You’ll be back home soon

Elvis Is Alive

Free Will is the first single and the opening track from Adam Ross's new album, Littoral Zone. The song is a stream-of-consciousness journey through a list of doubts, desires, demons and disputes as warped synths and rolling bass guitar slowly build to a sweeping orchestral conclusion. Free Will is a perfect scene-setter showcasing Adam's wry lyricism and the masterful skills of his musical collaborators. The album is produced by Andrew Wasylyk who brings a sonic palette of bone-dry drum kits, modulating keyboards and sparkling piano, all topped off with heart-stirring string arrangements by Pete Harvey, yearning vocals by Gillian Fleetwood and punctuating brass by Rachel Simpson.

Recorded in 2023 during a series of studio sessions in Dundee, the song takes you on a stroll through a north-east village as the narrative flits between parochial and existential concerns, introspection and shabby romance. It marks a departure from the sparse folk of Adam’s previous album and opens up the new, expansive musical world of the Littoral Zone.

Adam says about the song:

"I was thinking about the idea of blame and guilt, having read a book about free will. There's a theory that says free will doesn't exist because there's evidence we make choices before our brains have the chance to actually think about them. And if that's true then it's either a scary/depressing realisation or potentially a liberating one because then there's no need for blame or shame - stuff just happens.  
“Naturally, that led to a line about religion. I had a pretty positive experience with a religious childhood but I don't believe anymore and the only hangover is sometimes finding it hard to shake the idea I'm being watched, which is sort of where the tattoo line came from. I'm really pleased with how this song turned out, particularly the way the outro loops and builds. It felt like a pretty good opening statement for the album."

Free Will is released on 17th January as a digital single. It also comes as a free download with pre-orders of Littoral Zone which is released by Fika Recordings on 24th May on vinyl, CD and digital.

flakebelly // in parks of tall trees

Dive into the psychedelic realm of "In Parks of Tall Trees" - an auditory trip that defies explanation. Backwards piano chords weave with poems of dreams, accompanied by a heartbeat of furious drums. Piano riffs masquerade as bass guitars as solipsistic organs take center stage.
