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 19 February 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/batch519

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.

Weight Of This World

Weight of this World (Acoustic)

Being my second solo track, this is a musical form of pixie dust with a little stomp of techno. Throwing in some experimental sounds & samples, you now have Celestial Awakening. 

It's time to wake up!

Celestial Awakening

With rhythms inspired by UK garage, lyrically Clydecore is a tale of coercive control told through the romanticised lens of a survivor and offset by imagery of the real experiences of the Barrow Gang. In an instant, guitars and electronics switch from atmospheric to stabbing in a dance of freedom and rage.

Clydecore

It won’t take so long
to sing this sad song.
I wrote this short song
so long ago.

When we said so long
I knew that it was wrong
but we said so long
so long ago.

As long as I am here
I’ll be longing for that year
I spent with you
so, so long ago

but if my memory serves me well
you didn’t take it well
when I said so long
so long ago.

So it’s so long Mary Ann
you were named after that man
who sang So Long, Marianne
so long ago.

Wish I’d found a better end
to this song I won’t be sending
you lost your heart
so long ago.

So Long

Warmest Regards is the first single from the Fishery Commission's returning E.P. "Four Under Three". 

The track addresses the concept of the overwhelming bleakness facing humanity, with the firm belief that the planet will one day fight back and overcome the mess we have made of it. 

Mort Garson meets 8bit over a heavy dub sound system to accompany a set of songs written by a late night torch singer.

Warmest Regards

Sunset
Yellow sadness lines

We've had a lovely little Winter
Spring in the air on a hazy day 
Lifted alive by Summer
The sun sets on the world come Autumn 

Never gonna see the sun
Never gonna see the light in your eyes
Now's the day's is over and done
I'll do what I have to do to survive 

Roses
Your cup it runneth over 
Without you here to taste 

Never gonna see the sun
Never gonna see the light in your eyes
Now's the day's over and done
I'll do what I have to do to survive 

To the sun 
Who has shone on all
To the moon
Who has gone away
A very fond goodnight
Wherever you are
This is the last song
Of a very long day 

Never gonna see the sun
Never gonna see the light in your eyes
Now's the day's over and done
I'll do what I have to do to survive
