Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (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 7th March: 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/batch439

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 (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Self, the title-Single from the upcoming debut album has a double-meaning: 
Firstly, the song is autobiographical as being a commentary on my 'self' and my struggle in tackling my own personal issues. Secondly, it is also a message to the listener to reflect on the instant-gratification nature of western society and how, instead of being seduced by other things to make one happy; they can instead rely on themselves. This narrative sets the stage for the sound and narrative of the upcoming album.
'Self' will also be accompanied by a music video as well as a lyric video.
Self - Out March 4th.

Lyrics:

Right from the start
Just like a dream
You played a part
You pulled the seam
Who could have known
You didn’t show it
And reality was lit
With high and low
Oh, oh go slow

Such little hands
Just like a dream
You held my heart
You plucked the string
You couldn’t know
But time was glowing
My reality was lit
With high and low
Oh, oh go slow

And if you doubt the way you are
Remember you’ve got angels wings

Can you feel it
Is it heavy
Don’t you worry
Put your head here
On my shoulder
Let me kiss you
Over and over
Over and over

Over and over 
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over 

Don’t you worry
Put your head here
On my shoulder

Over and over
Over and over
Over and over 

Put your head here
On my shoulder

Over and over
Over and over
Over and over  

Oh oh oh

Time, so soon will pass me by
It hurts to know that
You’ll get older
But I am here for 

You, can rest your head on mine
Don’t worry love
All the world is
Fine and we have 

Time and all the world is fine
Don’t worry love
Rest your head on mine

All The World

I watched the 40 mile Russian army convoy edging through Ukraine towards Kiev and thought about their parents. Some of them must know what's really going on in Russia and what this war crime is about, and are seeing their kids carry it out.

my son 
i know
that you 
must go
to prove 
to show
that you 
have grown
into 
a man
who will 
who can
defend 
this land
from those 
who dare to

their call 
their word
the lies 
you heard
the truths 
intered 
by mockingbirds
by those
whose eyes
prioritise 
themselves 
their own
they will 
disown
one such 
as you
a common youth
a fool 
a pawn
a comrade in arms

this land 
is ours
a pane 
of glass
the world 
sees through
opaque 
to you
the truth 
is there
if you're 
prepared
to ask 
to pry
open 
your eyes

was this land made for you?

my son 
i know
that you 
must go
the choice 
is stark
to make 
your mark
or to 
say no
i will 
forego
the wages of
this bath of blood
locked up 
beat up
your choice 
made up

was this land made for you?

Was This Land Made For You?

Indefinite Leave To Remain (Alt Mix)

Indefinite Leave To Remain (Alt Version)

'Tonic' is taken from Brand New Moon's second album 'A Quiet Place to Land' which was released in September via Same Page Records.

Combining expansive, evolving sound-worlds with vivid melodies and intricate lyricism the album reveals a yearning to escape the restless claustrophobia of recent times - an ode to blue skies, new landscapes, and the hope of re-connection.

Produced & mixed by Mike Barrett
Additional mixing by Mathew Keightley

Tonic

After the devastating loss of Simon Morris to suicide in 2019, Vukovar have worked on 'Eternity Ends Here' - a triptych of albums, all released via Other Voices Records. New single 'Place To Rest' is the first glimpse from the third album in this series (and 10th album proper), entitled 'The Body Abdicator', which will be released later this year.

Place To Rest

From 3 To 5 - 08.04.22

Feel good track to catch a vibe and party to.

The Way

Where's Home?

A lucid dream-like adventure where a godlike figure attempts to grant all of a person’s wishes by carving them all kinds of exciting things out of the clouds. But a sad dog keeps appearing so the deity swallows the sky not understanding that the person wanted to confront the whole spectrum of their emotions, including the sad dog chasing them around.

Black Dog

Track one from ep1, the follow-up to amateur theatre group's debut album, races 1990 - 2021. The four-track EP is the beginning of a string of releases planned for 2022, including a second album towards the end of the year. ep1 is out 18 March 2022.
