Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 3rd Feb: from around 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/batch353

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 will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Hear Me Out!

The Golden Cage Society MIRA EL MAR

“Roll up, Roll up! Get your tickets here! Come bear witness to the incredible spectacle of an elephant being put to death by means of electrocution!”
Such words would seem unbelievable to us now. The amazing tastelessness of condemning an abused elephant to death combined with filming the execution for the entertainment of the public at a New York theme park. In actual fact it was controversial in 1903 too. The American Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals managed to stop Elmer Dundy from hanging her at least.
Topsy’s story is one that certainly should have shamed any person involved in her turbulent life and painful death, especially in a part of the world where we like to believe a higher degree of ‘civilisation’ might be expected. This is precisely the sentiment that moved Time Dilation Unit to highlight her plight for their 6th single release. The sense of indignation still so strong after more than a century (117 years precisely as of January 4th 2020)
The bands have often mixed historical characters and modern phenomena to spin a yarn (Oliver Twist-Superstar DJ for example) however, the tone of this track is understandably darker.
“Maybe because the emotions are so powerful, so dramatic! I could never imagine myself going to the colosseum in Rome and baying for blood or going downtown to catch a public execution. But people used to do exactly that- and in their droves!” remarks keyboard player Jonny who first conceived of the track.
“Because of this we are releasing the song to raise awareness of our belief that the human race can be cruelty-free and ask anyone reading or listening to visit the Tusk.org website and find out how people are helping elephants in their natural habitats amongst other conservation initiatives and donate or get involved!” adds drummer James.
Topsy the Elephant will be available from 21st February on Wormhole Records with a very limited-edition CD for any collectors
