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 25th April, 2022: 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/batch444

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.

Hot Cola

We have ways of calling
We who come from the sea
But as I recall, you called me
Through the dying grass to the bogfire hearth
of the life you thought was all there was

But come with me, down to the sea
Down to the bank, into the river
Nothing here but the air we breathe
And this endless weather
Let them speak, let them speak, let them believe
That we both drowned

I know you felt it calling - 
how else would you find me?
And in your eyes I saw the sea
A fleeting glimpse in the mirror glass
of the life that waits beyond what was

Come with me, down to the sea
Down to the bank, into the river
Nothing here but the air we breathe
And this endless weather
Let them speak, let them speak, let them believe
That we both drowned

Selkie's Call

Overground

"'Baby' is hard-hitting psychedelic garage rock perfection, melded with swirling 80s synth-pop — it’s explosive and incredibly catchy."
- Glide

" 'Baby' dispenses almost entirely with the lush and/or provocative and/or atmospheric synth foundations that have frequently underscored their previous work and plunges with near-abandon into a full-out rock-based assault (with proper pop touches, mind)."
- StereoEmbers

Baby

Limitless EP

変質者クラブ

Watch The Rain

Signature song of the Maybees back in the 90s. Recently rerecorded.

Everyday of my life I wake up wanting
I only want what I can't have
My sad excuse is a human nature
That makes it good to be bad
You got it all but you still want more
There's always something else to keep on pushing for
You hit the peak and you're still subdued
Well it all comes down to your attitude
Yeah it's your attitude
And every night there could be someone
Not out of reach who you can touch
But you stay in your ivory tower
And say it doesn't matter much
She gives it all but you still want more
From someone that you've never had before
Blame the time you can blame the mood
Blame everything except your attitude
Can't be your attitude
You know it's easy to make it hard
To make something out of nothing
You try to please me well please yourself
You don't need my help
You don't need nobody else
You're given money and you're given love
No matter what you got it's never quite enough
You go the whole world on your side
But you know you'll never be satisfied
Your sense of guilt and your sense of grace
Bids you welcome back to the human race
It's not the way it's run it's more the way it's viewed
And that all depends upon your attitude
You got an attitude

Lyrics:

The flowers in my garden aren't blooming without you,
The birds packed their cases and hurried away.
The skeleton leaves sunk like silt through a puddle,
And settled like dust in the grass.
I believe that someday we will walk again in fields of clover.

Will I see you again in my garden?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again in my garden?
Will I see you again?

(Instrumental solo)

The flowers in my garden aren't blooming without you,
The beetles are coming to chew up the leaves,
The tendrils of posies lie bended and idle,
Still waiting for springtime to come.
All through winter buried in the frozen ground the bulbs were waiting.

Deja Vu

From my latest release "Writing on the Wall"

Century Man

dance what If mine or not

Written, arranged and performed by Fraser Broadfoot
Copyright Fraser Broadfoot 2021

Under frozen dreams, not breathing
We would have to hide our love away
A ball and chain
To keep us down
But within the dark, our feelings flowed
And within our hearts, our strength has showed
Our wings have grown
Let’s break away

Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Touch me, I’ll never be the same again
Teach me, teach me to believe in myself
Because I need your love
Don’t you know I need your love

Like drifting leaves, we’re moving
Now the fallen tree has washed away
A new pathway to take us home
Will you share with me this brand new day
And upon the sea, our hopes can sail
Blaze a trail
Lead the way

Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Touch me, I’ll never be the same again
Teach me, teach me to believe in myself
Because I need your love
Don’t you know I need your love

And if I get scared, talk to me
Let my feelings float on the stream
Help me try to understand
To believe

If you stop to dare, talk to me
Let your feelings float on the breeze
I’m always here to help you land
On solid ground

Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Touch me, I’ll never be the same again
Take my hand
Together we can find ourselves
Touch me, I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same
Hold me, I don’t want to lie anymore
Because I need your love
Don’t you know I need your love
