Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk 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 Mon 17th July: 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/batch250

*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!)

Moonphase Bloom was played on BBC Radio 1 with Huw Stephens in late Aug 2017

"ACA is back with a new single, and we think it’s safe to call it their best song yet.. We really can’t wait for this band to catch on with the masses so we have more people to talk to about their sweet, sweet sounds." Substream Magazine
https://substreammagazine.com/2017/07/astral-cloud-ashes-moonphase-bloom/

"If you’re looking for a clean sounding post-emo track, Astral Cloud Ashes bring it on Moonphase Bloom.”  BuffaBlog  buffablog.com/astral-cloud-ashes-moonphase-bloom

"Outstanding indie rock sound" Velvety blog

"This philosophy of self-surrounding and gaining from other artists to improve and vary the artistic product for good can add a variety of flavor to a musician’s ensemble. Antony allows this without compromising his own sound"

'Moonphase Bloom' is taken from the forthcoming Astral Cloud Ashes album in 2017.

Well let's go straight down the rat race
you always knew my favourite place of hiding
and dreaming
you’re steaming cause you don't think there's a way 

You're steaming cause you don't tell the story straight 
look just at your face 

this day, this phase
this phrasing of a maze 
this moonphase..
hey you hold on for one more day
disconnect your devices 
unplug the wires
all we have are feelings 
hey you, you could be the one
but all we want to do is disconnect from 
everyone that ever was

can we stay forever young?
you can hold the back door, I got the front 
and nobody up the stairs
free movie sites 
say something like 
maybe just stick around
I could keep you for the weekend baby

I don't mean to freak you out! 
I was like a virus you were like a medicine
I didn't have to go out there 
why do I have to be addicted to your love?

well lead us back to the old place, nobody recognises us inside...

well let's go straight down the rat race
you always knew my favourite place of hiding 
and dreaming 
you're steaming cause you don't think there's a way

you're steaming cause you don't know the story
or these memories or these restless nights

I would wake up sweating and scared and honestly I don't know why 
I am not forgetting I think about you all the time
if you knew that you were leaving why did you not say it?
goodbye..

can we stay forever young?
chicken hold the back door I got the front 
and nobody’s up the stairs 

can we stay forever young?
you can hold the back door, I got the front 
and nobody up the stairs
free movie sites 
say something like 
maybe just stick around 
I could keep you for the weekend baby
I could keep you for the weekend yeah

I don't mean to freak you out!
I was like a virus you were like a medicine
somewhere up the stairs in a cabinet 
unexplained absence and missing tablets
now I have to call everyone
