Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 23rd June 2021: 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/batch411

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 411

Out 04 june.

Ive heard it all before, everything twice.
When your eyes look to the door, it only tightened the vice.

Now I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming 
I feel the pain coming

So pick me off the floor, turn off the lights.
For when my mind goes overboard, it'll crave your advice

Still I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming 
I feel the pain coming

So don't you go and tell me, that I mean nothing to you now.
Don't you know it hurts me, to hear those words come out your mouth?

So don't you go and tell me, that I mean nothing to you now
Don't you know it hurts me, to hear those words come out your mouth?

Still I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming
I feel the pain coming 
I feel the pain coming

So don't you go and tell me, that I mean nothing to you now.
Don't you know it hurts me, to hear those words come out your mouth?

‘Summer’ the new single from Lewis McLaughlin is a testament to the simple joys of being young, having few cares in the world, whatever the weather. It brings musical escapism - asking us to leave our worries in the house and enjoy a moment with others in the sun. It draws influence from traditional forms and filters them with a contemporary lens to blend alt folk and rock into something unique.

A choir of Lewis’ rich musical network gels the track; “the song has always been very strongly focused on inclusion, community and togetherness. I hope that comes across in this version and the music video.” 

It was recorded in Glasgow where he currently lives. He is 20 years old and was inspired by the likes of John Martyn and Villagers to begin writing and recording his own songs.

Locked In / Sterile Spring is the latest release from Bloom's Taxonomy's forthcoming album 'Foley Age'. This atmospheric electronic track starts in the claustrophobic confines of the subconscious, and transitions into epic space age techno.

Lyrics:
Neighbour Boy, put his head out
Into the branches in the wind: I'd like to tell him to stop
I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, put his head out
he is not coming home for a while: see how it goes
I used to keep my hair long like those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, you're wanting to feel free
the further you go away from your home
I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, what takes you?
And he looks me straight in the eye
I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

He looks just like a shadow of whom I used to be

South London-born singer/songwriter Gabrielle Sey describes her sound “like a round trip
from London to Accra with a stop-off at a Cali Sunday Service” (though she prefers not to
label her music as “Christian”). She has gained attention from the likes of Gal-Dem and AFROPUNK - who premiered her debut EP “Break My Silence”. Sey's new EP "Vapour" is out now.
