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 1sr July 2024: 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/batch536

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.

If We Just Ever Were

Violet's Song

It's about time we left Chomolungma to be the holy place she is. It's about time we started caring for nature again.

Based on this poem:

Billions of heartbeats beneath
Her ribs. The granite cage of birth
From under the sea up
And away.

So hard to let go, 
To open up and allow new
Breath amid the schists
And gneisses in the half-mists.

Limestone marks her own
Heart, the beating slow and frozen,
Here at the top, and choking
From the mess her children
Make of her and the world.

She barely remembers
Being a goddess mother,
How she emerged from the ocean
Carrying hope in her braided
Hair, so white now,
Streaming from her in plumes.

Rest awhile, just to gather
Enough strength to stop
Conceiving
To start
Believing
Again, in the art
Of sanctity.

Beneath her ribs.
Beneath her.
Beneath.

LYRICS
I’ll buy you flowers your favourite ones
We’ll eat breakfast with some music in the background
I haven’t seen you in a little while
You never say it but I know
Some days are hard

When everything comes and goes
No need to search high and low
I’ll be here for you
When you think you lost your light
It’s too dark to see the sky
I’ll be here for you

Always always 
I’m always here for you

Tell me your biggest dreams
And your deepest fears
I’m not here to judge
You don’t have to think you’re crazy
I haven’t said it in a little while
You’re precious to me 
Nothing gonna change my mind

When everything comes and goes
No need to search high and low
I’ll be here for you
When you think you lost your light
It’s too dark to see the sky
I’ll be here for you

Always always 
I’m always here for you
Always always 
I’m always here for you

You’re the brightest star
I’m the lucky one 
I know you I know you
All I’ll ever need is 
More time with you more time with you
Ahhh

Always always 
I’m always here for you
Always always 
I’m always here for you

[Instrumental]

You’re the brightest star
I’m the lucky one 
I know you I know you
All I’ll ever need is 
More time with you more time with you
Ahhh

Brightest Star

Hallworth - Stateside

No Use In Crying came from a recording session that was set up with a good friend Frank Fogden. Originally planning to record other demos I started to write this song before Frank turned up, Deciding it would be more of a vibe we chose to record No Use In Crying instead!

No Use In Crying

21st Century Ska/Pop Love Letter to the 2-tone era

Two Tone Summer

Straightforward rock tune that gives you swirling guitar riffs on top of driving drums and bass. Vocal melody lilts over the music with lyrics that simply hit home, and you think, I Might Sing. The song comes together quite busy and erratic, definitely following suit with how it sounds.

Between Daze - I Might

Tokyo

Paradise

I Left A Light On

The Belly Of The Earth

A Robert Plant / Dave Gilmour / Lou Reed influenced Blues Rock demo version of a song originally written way back in 2015. Remixed for licensing or covers in June 2024.

Shelter

Slow Down

"The Moth" combines acoustic guitar with subtle electronic elements, creating an intimate yet modern sound. The vocals are emotive and introspective, set against a backdrop of gentle rhythms and melodic instrumentation. The song’s structure evolves smoothly, balancing between folk and indie influences, capturing a contemplative and soothing atmosphere.

Single release date: 23rd August 2024
