Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 2nd October: 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/batch256

*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!)

Himalayas - Sigh On A Hurricane MASTER

A Sweet Whisper is a mesmerising, rolling crescendo of sound, with vocals that captivate right through ending in an almost anthem-like plea at around 3.15.  Containing mixed elements of both acoustic and electric guitars, atmospherical synths, gentle strings coupled with electric and acoustic kits, this song is detailed in its elements yet smoothly and sweetly presented.

‘Fall & Break’ is the debut single by Midlands-based singer songwriter Faye Bagley, recently signed to UK independent Wise Dog Records.

Busker by day and solo artist by night, Faye’s talent was first spotted on the streets of Birmingham by Circle Studios’ owner/producer Trevor Gibson, and the pair have worked together on developing Faye’s songwriting for the last 18 months.

With a powerful vocal, soaring harmonies and influences from the worlds of both country and folk, ‘Fall & Break’ has drawn comparisons with the sounds of Stevie Nicks and early Natalie Merchant. Lyrically, Faye describes ‘Fall & Break’ as a real life story that she carries with her "not as a burden but as a badge of honour".

The video for ‘Fall & Break’, featuring the acting debut of GB Olympic medallist Sally Walton, shows Faye playing in her natural habitat and a graphic depiction of how what’s going on in a person's head may not always match reality.

Faye plays regularly throughout the Midlands and has spent the last year playing gigs and small festivals to a growing fan-base across the UK and busking to pay her way.  

‘Fall & Break’ is released digitally worldwide on 22nd September via Wise Dog Records (WDR 004).

Lazy Tiger - blueleaves

Debris 

Vegas vomited into my morning 
And it was hard to stand on the toxic boat
It all stretched in front of me

Hurricanes heaved up hospital beds
Medical scanners, stuffed dolls
Coffee mugs, bicycles and TV’s

Wind maps like a murderer’s fingerprint
The center, blood red and moving
Across country’s trailing disease

Muddy water everywhere rising
Dirty syringes and used tampons
A bullhorn to hypocrisy

Suited spokesman focus testing
Responses for best angles to win power
Offering prayers and sympathies

Country cattle dipped like fries
Into the boiling oil of madness
Acoustic abattoir’s haunting melody

Flags and flags and more goddamn flags
On pins, boots, jackets, stripper poles
But don’t dare take a knee
And walls in ears and hearts
And shorelines and radio charts
Until everyone’s living like a refugee

And I’m sorry Tom but the wave hits
Everybody eventually and we 
All will end up swallowed by the sea

Debris.
