Any artist is welcome to send us a 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 4 June: from midday 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/batch286

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Lyrics:
My heart’s on my sleeve and thinking kills me
What do I want? What do you want?
What do we want? Tell me
Just wrap it up please
What have we got? One shot, at this now

So we free fall down that dark hole 
And we hope for a hand to catch our hearts
In the end so we don’t fall again

Here we go
Everyone talks, but nobody’s right
It’s a fading light
Just see it through your own eyes

Tonight the weatherman’s out searching daylight
We know the sun shines when your and my shadows collide

Don’t bend back man you’ll break and fall
Don’t lose hold and let go
Sooner than you hoped for
Sooner than you know

Here we go
Everyone talks, but nobody’s right
It’s a fading light
You just see it through your own eyes

Don’t bend back man you’ll break and fall
Don’t lose hold and let go
Sooner than you hoped for
Sooner than you know

Here we go
Everyone talks, but nobody’s right
It’s a fading light
Just see it through your own eyes 
Break and fall
We break and fall

“I’ve been searching, for all the pieces.” Diving was recorded late at night out in the woods. It is a stuttering road trip lyrically inspired by author Jeff Noon’s diseased-information-overload novel, ‘Falling Out of Cars’. All the different layers of sound and information filtered through delay, reverb and tremolo into this one song recorded over a winter’s night.

Chase Pesos - Collards Ft. Yung Juan (Prod. by @Killbillbeats)

The song 1.TAS is performed in Samogitian language spoken less than 100 000 people in western Lithuania.

1.TAS

Liverpool singer-songwriter, Mel Bowen, brings colour to his sound with elements of folk, New York soul, the jazz of Montmartre pavement cafes, and the heat of Ipanema evenings. His instinct with an idea played out in shifting time signatures, luscious warm melodies, laced through with Bert Jansch guitar picking, Tijuana brass and breathy sax lines. All this is given extra soul warmth by the electric piano and vocal harmonies of long-term collaborator Emily Valerio.

On The Wrong Side is taken from ‘Everyday’s A Holiday’ – a six-track EP. Listening to it is like bathing in a Merseyside Truffaut movie.
