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 2nd November: from Friday afternoon 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/batch384

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 cannot be included in playlists. 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.

Lyrics:
Cold morning
Cracks are clawing
Open eyes
Pale evenings
Reappearing
Polarise

Two sides
Two seeds

Falling away
Called by the same dirt
Rhizomatic zygotes
In kaleidoscopic birth

These roots remain
Through futures'...

These roots remain
These roots remain
These roots remain
Through futures' pain

Blossoming impossibly

Blossoming invincible bonds
Like gossamer - invisibly strong

A tangled web
Lives in my head
Back from the dead
It's in my...

Unpick...
Unpick that thread

Knots falling away...

Revealing patterned arrays
Revealing patterned arrays

Roots leading away
Dragged by the crest of a wave
Planting trails on the road
Marking our journey back home

Entropia EP

Our Rhizome Remains

"I Love Me Too" was the final song I wrote for the upcoming EP. I knew I wanted to end on a high. I wanted it to be like, "Hey! I was really struggling, but the writing process has helped me to completely overcome all my anxieties and now I'm fine!" But of course, that's not how these things really work. So instead, I decided to write a song that would reflect that fantasy, that everything was ok now because life is too short to be feeling down and anxious! Like they say, fake it till you make it...

LYRICS:
I'm a Mean Rock N Roller in a band
and I'll do my best to help you understand
You see this isn't 'cos it's cool or benile.
It's a calling, it's a deep lifestyle.

And I tried so .......... hard to toe the line
But then it felt so very empty all the time
'Cos I'm a Mean Rock N Roller,
A Mean Rock N Roller in a band

When I was just a kid some said to me
Settle down work hard, No time for chasing dreams
(But) You see it's not their fault, they're led to believe
to work the grind when really there's no need

So I tried so ......... hard to toe the line
then it felt so very empty all the time
'Cos I'm a Mean Rock N Roller,
A Mean Rock N Roller in a band
In a band

Ooh Ooh Woo Ooh Oh
Ooh Oh Woo Oh ooh
Ooh oh Woo oh ooo woah..

I'm a Mean Rock N Roller in a band
And I'll do my best to help you understand
I'm a Mean Rock N Roller in a Band
It's a Meaning it's a deep liefstyle
It's a meaning, it's a deep lifestyle
It's a Meaning it's a deep liefstyle
It's a meaning, it's a deep lifestyle


And I tried so ......... hard to toe the line
but then it felt so ........... empty all the time

ohh hoa woah Ohh Hoa ohh
Ooh Hoa Woah oh woah
Ohh Hoa woah Ooooh woah
Ohh Hoa Woah Oh woah

 I'm a Mean Rock N Roller,
Mean Rock N Roller
Mean Rock N Roller
Mean Rock N Roller
Mean Rock N Roller
Mean Rock N Roller
Mean Rock N Roller In a band
In a band
In a band
In a band

Mean Rock N Roller (Radio Edit)

Pavement is a product of lockdown. After being surrounded by overwhelming negativity on the outside world, all I wanted to create was a little piece of happiness to help people hurdle the issues of the day to day with ease. 
Produced by Steven Bamidele & featuring Caswell this euphoric track is made to make you smile.

Her Name is Juniper

Her Name Is Juniper

A song that was written during lockdown, from the inside looking out.

The lyrics were inspired by a baby blackbird that was found sick, with a crossed beak, by our vocalist in her garden. She nursed it back to health by feeding it every day for 6 weeks. Our vocalist used to wait by the window during lockdown - the looking glass - and wait for the bird to arrive each morning. 

The song also explores the concept of identity: if you can just believe, you will see your true self in the mirror.

Looking Glass

This is a protest song with possibilities, a lament on space station Earth and how we treat each other.
