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 6 May: 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/batch324

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Night Silk Threads

Greater Than The Parts

The unforgettable vibe 
Of the last rainy night
Fills the morning with
Reluctance to fight

But In a chicken crowd
Look closely how
One's trying to outrun
Everyone

An empty road and the lonely sun
Show off the things I care about now
Exaggerate our lives and run
Before the story is done

In such type of life
There are not many days
For long letters to my
Last summer friends

Once I stop for a moment
No bustle, no fear
And I skip Monday
‘Cause this time you’re here

An empty road and the lonely sun
Show off the things I care about now
Exaggerate our lives and run
Before the story is done

Kaiten Comfort

Focused Morning

Magnetic Pull

Following cascading shimmer-synths and throbbing bass in a winking disco intro, she sings “Late night, it’s alright – don’t matter the time or place.” The raving refrains of “Rendezvous” invite listeners into an unforgettable twilight party where anything goes - a simultaneously in-your-head and in-your-face expression of life affirmation.

The song – true to its title – imagines a one-night stand: a charmingly sincere back-and-forth between Lady Lark and Minnesota heavyweight Har Mar Superstar, who lends guest vocals. Looking deeper, however, Lady Lark’s true MO is one that seems antithetical to a heavy-hearted scene; it’s a lighthearted ditty that invites listeners to do what makes them happy. If you want love for one night, go for it. If you want to dance, go for it. If you want to cut loose, for the love of God, go for it.

The lead single from Lady Lark’s glammy forthcoming album Permission, Rendezvous is just a sample of what the Minneapolis performer is preparing to unleash. Vivacious and overloaded with her trademark sparkle, Lady Lark spreads the love through vigorous beats and sharp lyrics, acknowledging the importance of taking care of yourself and seeking the pleasure you need.

Permission

Rendezvous (feat. Har Mar Superstar)

Enjoy the chillout remix by London-based producer Marco Meloni, providing the perfect companion to sipping an Aperol Spritz in the sun!

Brand New  Chillout Remix

Annie I sold your namesake
You’ve fallen to a new school of thought
Everyone’s got their camera
Primed and poised for the money shot

All dressed up in your new clothes
Stand up front and don’t even dance
When I’m a person of interest maybe
You’ll give me a second glance

Well it’s not the mother’s milk that drives you mad
It’s the singing of the fashionable and bad while I
Go to sleep through the 
Light and the heat

You’ve got no taste or talent
Queen of the standing room
You took all Annie’s edges left her
Nice and round for you to consume

Well you know there’s one success that’s ironclad
It’s the singing of the fashionable and bad and now
No one cares for what
Isn’t theirs

It’s so cool to care now, Your heroes will let you down
I don’t have a lot to prove, You’ll soon be the new old news
I don’t know when why or how, But words cut me deep somehow
I drink in the afternoon, And dream of that silver spoon

Well if you look close enough at your sycophant circle jerking
Desperately trying to understand the numbers
Middle of the night what do people like
They just don’t like me I think that
I could be anybody, anybody that you want
Annie in my ears and nobody is on my 
Side you’re a pretty thing such a pretty thing
Drown my sorrows cough up my
Sins with the could-have-beens
Sins with the could-have-beens

Hold On To Me

trying to rewrite the traditional song "Lavender's Blue" led me here, to my struggle to find balance between family, work, and music.  This is my theme tune.

Lyrics 

I dont wanna play these games
all these voices in your head
felt like i was in a dream 
and somehow we wound up dead

I don’t wanna feel the cold
girl you got me feeling old
and I pray we make it to the end
and cure the voices in our head

All you n*ggas tried to do bring me down
Alway quick to talk sh*t when I’m not around
Always used to treat me like I was a clown
See the come up but you’d try to drag me down
Used to feel like dying when you’d come around
Cause you didn’t give a f*ck you shut me down
Got me feeling like I’d rather be alone
Wanna stand out I don’t wanna be a clone

I might f*ck your girl and I might take her home
Glass of henny ima take it to the dome
Papers rolled and ima smoke them to the roach
F*ck your feelings bitch I’m feeling comatose
They don’t hear me got me feeling like a ghost
So when I blow up I don’t even wanna know
What you’ve got to say or what you’ve got to show

Voices [Prod @YXUNGTARZAAN]

Landslide

We're All Born Screaming

Tired of My Medication

Official lyric video available here: https://youtu.be/6jygjJ6g1N0

This ain't no warm embrace it's cold surrender
To the scarecrows and the bogeymen and the pretenders
I'm not feeling it like you do I'm not feeling it at all
So why are you pushing us against the wall?
Your numbers are swollen like a vein
You're swinging the polls to the right again

The island has let slip cast adrift
Its tossed in a sickening orbit
We don't recognise our homes and its cutting up our bones
So farewell to life beyond the cliffs
Stuck in a sickening orbit
Goodnight my love
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me to the airport Europa
Take me into the air

This ain't no warm embrace it's cold surrender

Written, performed and produced by Stephen James Howard
