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 10th October: 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/batch462

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Leap of faith

LDN is one track from the forthcoming album. A club banger.

Someone asked not give up on them
So I said what why would I give up
Let the explaining begin
You can let it drop even just a drop
I ain't no one who has no sin
I ain't gonna not be at least understanding
So let's just take this one step and
If it gets too hot we can just stop

An Is As If Eh

No Elegant Way To Sell Out

Precious Feelings

Lyrics:

All of my enemies live in my mind
They're taking me down down from the inside
All of my senses have left me behind
And I'm just a victim of my own designs

Won't you set me free
From the make believe 
Penitentiary
We'll snatch the keys
And we'll bribe the guards
Before you know it we'll be back at large
We'll steal a car 
And drive it out to sea
And watch the sunset over the beach
Won't you set me free
From the make believe
Penitentiary

I'm under the influence and over the edge
I'm livin' with monsters and I'm easily led
It's harder to fight than to lay down your arms
So put the money in the bag and no one gets harmed

Won't you set me free
From the make believe 
Penitentiary
We'll snatch the keys
And we'll bribe the guards
Before you know it we'll be back at large
We'll steal a car 
And drive it out to sea
And watch the sunset over the beach
Won't you set me free
From the make believe
Penitentiary

Won't you set me free
From the make believe 
Penitentiary
We'll snatch the keys
And we'll bribe the guards
Before you know it we'll be back at large
We'll steal a car 
And drive it out to sea
And watch the sunset over the beach
Won't you set me free
From the make believe
Penitentiary

Lyrics:

Give Me Something

Can I get a wake up
Can I get a morning song
The one without the make up
The one to hang my kisses on

You'd disappear in seconds
I gotta keep my eye on you
With every word I miss you
Just tell me when I'm warm will you

You're in the rear mirror
Further away than you appear
Well I guess you never saw me the way I needed you to, dear

Remember when you caught me
Remember when I fucked it up
If nothing really matters 
You might as well just

Give me something when I my knees
Give me something when I cannot breathe
Give me something
Give me something

Give me something when I'm all alone
Give me something when I lose my hope
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something

Yes I'm sentimental hearted 
I guess you've noticed that I'm always three moves ahead
It takes time to make time, and I'm all out
When I jump, will you fall, will you catch me up

Sometimes I try to cut myself in two
Spell love with a capital U
I'm a round, square in a rubix cube
So changing's all I do

Give me something when I my knees
Give me something when I cannot breathe
Give me something
Give me something

Give me something when I lose myself
Give me something that I could not know
Give me something
Give me something

And when you fall asleep I'm gonna take you dancing
In the midnight hours, when the clocks slow
I wanna burn this city, until you show
Until you show

So give something when I'm on my knees
Give me something when I can not breathe 
Give me something
Give me something

Give me something when I'm all alone
Give me something when I lose me home
Give me something
Give me something

Give me something when I lose myslef
Show me love and show me well
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something

Won't you give me something
Give me something
Won't you give me something
Give me something
Won't you give me something
Give me something
Won't you give me something
Give me something

Give Me Something

ALWAYS A TEASPOON (Hytch)

In 2010 at the age of 13, I attempted suicide. Life was shit, I felt shit, and I thought the world would be a better place if I wasn't around. Now in the month that I turn 26, I wrote this letter to my younger self, what I wish I heard back then, and what I hope those who need it can hear now.

I'm So Glad You're Still Here

The Warning

I Worry Too Much (Radio Edit)

‘If you’re still leaving’ is one of the pivotal moments from elkyn's debut album, 'holy spirit social club', released in March 2022. A masterclass in tension and release, graceful guitar work with a gorgeous ambient undertow, the track is revisited here and stripped to its human essentials. Backed with two acoustic reworks of other elkyn songs, recorded at UK radio sessions earlier this year.

'holy spirit social club's release was backed by an extensive UK tour alongside ST Manville followed by dates with LOVE. The vinyl release came courtesy of Curation Records, the label run by Brent Rademaker of Beachwood Sparks. Media and retail support came from the likes of Record Collector, Shindig!, RnR Magazine, Americana UK, Atwood, Secret Meeting, For the Rabbits, God Is In The TV, Joyzine, BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Amazing Radio, Rough Trade, Norman, Record Store and more.

“Cast Away” is about longing for your destiny. It’s for the type of people who are in constant search of their idea of refuge. It’s a reminder to keep moving forward.
