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 4th April: 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/batch443

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.

Lyrics, CDs and downloads are available at https://ringlefinchuk.bandcamp.com/album/tall-tales. 

Four years in the making and entirely self-produced, 'Tall Tales' is the first full-length album from London-based alternative folk band Ringlefinch. 

With dark-humoured, wittily introspective lyrics set to upbeat, offbeat earworm tunes and a strong folk-storytelling sensibility, 'Tall Tales' centres on themes of identity, exploring how we all tell ourselves stories of who we are to try and make sense of our place in the world. This sense of self-determination even extends to the production of the album - the band recorded and mixed it on equipment they built themselves.

"The Masochism Tango"
Talented pianist - a gifted singer with superbly deft comic timing and a line in dark humour - respected lecturer in mathematics at Harvard University - Tom Lehrer is also one of the great satirical songwriters of the twentieth century. One of his earlier songs, "The Masochism Tango" scandalised audiences on its release in the late 1950s. How times have changed. 

Song: Tom Lehrer

The Masochism Tango

The song is about long-distance relationships and how one person misses the other and how they just want to spend all their time together.

Get Out

Hatred Is a Passion Of Theirs

Memory Girl released on Fortress Sounds via AWAL 5th April 2022. 

This anthemic single serves as the album's title track and was written after a hugely successful call-out campaign for her fan's memories & nostalgia to use as inspiration for the song.  

This creates a beautiful contrast to the album which was written about Natalie's childhood & adulthood experiences.

“I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself as an artist and songwriter. Sometimes that curveball move which puts you outside of your comfort zone leads to an amazing discovery, and I love experiencing that. 

Because Memory Girl (the album) is so rooted in my own story and memories, I wanted to ask my fans for theirs - for inspiration, for something more that felt exciting and inclusive. 

What I received from them was above and beyond my initial expectation, I was truly in awe of some of them. The one that resonated with me the most was a man’s story about growing up with his twin sister, growing apart, growing together again through life. 

I really connected with it because it made me think of my own family, parents, grandparents - how they were when they were young and travelling through life in their own stories, growing up. It also felt like a continuation of the album - which has themes of mirroring, and twin imagery.  I was so connected to it that when I came to write the song it made me very emotional.

There is real weight attached to creating work around someone else’s story, and I wanted to celebrate and respect that. I’m really proud of the song and production.”

Memory Girl

For Ages

Uplifting happy love song. Written and recorded at mount street studios Nottingham.

Just You And Me

lush string drenched alt country croonings with pedal steel and harmonica driven ambiances from the bands continuing venture that is  SILVERDALE.

Hues of Harry Nilsson, John Barry and Burt Bacharach abound on this lovingly crafted song that will have you chasing the fade.

Waiting For The Day To Come

Relevant

Taken from Paul Iwan's new album PRESENT, released 8th April 2022 on limited edition RED vinyl and CD from Www.pauliwan.co.uk

Opening with the lyric, 'I'm here, trapped in a mess not my making' the events of the past two years mean we can all relate to the feelings of helplessness and isolation that Iwan sings of on the quiet and reflective 'Inside'.

Reviews of Present so far...

"An instant classic". Revival Synth

"9/10. A masterpiece" Liverpool Sound and Vision 

"Powerful... He has truly come back with a bang". Liverpool Noise

"Dark dream rock". The Viking in the Wilderness  

"You’re never too far away from a seductive melody or an inspirational rush... The quality of his work stands loud and proud". At The Barrier 

"A powerful and thought provoking record and one on repeat". Explore Liverpool 

"Stunning". Penny Black Music

Inside

This track is based on static observations from the middle of my hallway, welcome to my home x

Title track from the EP "The Whole Hog" 

The Whole Hog

Another song I wrote from 1979. Played this song in various incarnations of guitar based bands throughout the early/mid 80's.

This is how I would have liked it in 80's electronic format if I'd had the chance.
