Indie Fresh-Ups (November 2020)

[Weekly Mix] 2020.11 (4)

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 November: 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/batch387

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.

Gum Country - Somewhere

John Carpenter

The second single released from The Frisbys upcoming E.P 'My Wicked Mind'. My Wicked Mind is released on 26th June 2020 via Dantbaccus Records.

Lyrics:
Bright lights, inner city
Your mouth tastes sweet
I get so alone now
I just don't know what I

Feel your getting closer
Feel you inside my head
So scared I could drop this
I just don't know what I like
Know what I like...

Heart aches, lungs are burning
Room seeps sweat and smoke
Whispered I know what's better
I just don't know what I,
know what I, know what I

Woah lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Embrace this night for sinners
Know the devils out
Guarded I let him take me
I just don't know what I
Know what I, know what I


Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Hold me down to the river
Let me lay my head
Hold me down to the river 
Let me lay my head

My Wicked Mind

Lead Me To The Water

lyrics:
cause every time I feel your pain
I feel the same 
I feel the same
cause every night I call your name 
some one to save from today 
don't expect me to call you babe
nothing to say 
nothing to say
every time I see your face 
I feel ashamed 
I feel ashamed

they say love aint easy for a guy like me
but I still try to any one who can see

(woah)

cause every time I feel your pain
I feel the same 
I feel the same
cause every night I call your name 
some one to save from today 
don't expect me to call you babe
nothing to say 
nothing to say
every time I see your face 
I feel ashamed 
I feel ashamed

they say love aint easy for a guy like me
but I still try to any one who can see

(woah)

“This song is a romanticized daydream about a girl who moved in across the hall. I was living in Los Angeles and I had just picked up a 1982 MT-45 Casiotone keyboard. I fell in love with the sound of it and it inspired me to write the song quite quickly.”

“The majority of the drums come from Roland CR-78 and Roland 505 drum machines. Run through a series of guitar pedals, the Casio keyboard’s signal chain is visible in the song’s artwork; a photo I took on my 1982 Canon AE-1 film camera” – Harry Nathan 

Accolades:
“The best lo-fi house track of 2020” by Indie Shuffle on ‘Harriet Tubman’
“Harry Nathan is a dream pop savant” - Billboard
“Artist to Watch: Harry Nathan is our answer to Summer” – Earmilk

Never Leave

First collaborative single from Flo Perlin and Pilgrims' Dream. Written and recorded in Flo’s living room, 'Life Lives Inside' shares the story of a human and a bird, and their evolving connection out at sea. It is a metaphor for being adrift in the unknown, reflecting these uncertain times.

Life Lives Inside

Courting - Popshop!

Tightrope is about the push and pull of a dysfunctional relationship. It’s the committed devotion two people share regardless of the built-up resentment and fighting that threatens to rip it apart at any moment. Knowing it's over but not wanting to make the call.

Written and Performed by Emanuela Drei
Produced, Recorded and Mixed by Andrew Savours in London, UK
Mastered by Pete Maher in London, UK

Walk On The Ceiling

Parts - So Naturally Odd

When I was on tour years ago I was stopped and questioned by U.S. Customs at Toronto airport. They wanted to know my intentions and why I was travelling to the US after spending a week in Toronto. "Well, I’m a singer in a band and I’ve got shows booked across the country from New York to LA" I said. The rest of the band were completely unaware of the situation I was in and were way ahead of me, had cleared Customs, and were awaiting my arrival on the plane.

After an intense interrogation, the Customs officials decided to deny me entry based on my Visa not allowing me to sing in the U.S. - you actually need an Entertainment Visa to do this which requires a lot of money and filling out tonnes of paperwork... The Customs officer walked me to the front of the airport, turned me around and said "Good luck". 

So, there I was, in a country I had never been before and I’m looking around thinking 'Where the hell do I go? What's my next move?'. Lucky I had met some really cool Canadians during the week at some of our shows, so I gave them a call. I spent the next two weeks soul searching and sleeping on floors.

"Shadow of a Doubt" is about those two weeks of having no real sense of commitment, time, place, or idea of how and when I was going to get back to Australia.

Kirin J Callinan - You Are Going To Miss Me (When I Am Gone)

Lighting Up (Dia De Los Muertos) is taken from the 5 track DARK HOURS EP which is available now from all digital outlets. It plays like a Day of the Dead parade via a truth or dare game of Russian Roulette. It's a nostalgic tune that's big on hooks. Produced by the legend that is Gavin Monaghan at Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton and recorded 3rd October 2020 on a wet and cold day. 

Track trivia : The tambourine that you can make out low in the mix used to belong to T-Rex front man Marc Bolan.

The rest of the EP was produced by Joe Chalmers (aka PUKK) at his bedroom studio (better known as the House of Blews) using a £10 acoustic guitar from local ads, a Windows 7laptop that boots every 9th attempt and free software. It's about as DIY as it gets. Even the cover art was made on a phone using free apps and some imagination.

Dark Hours EP

Lighting Up (Dia De Los Muertes)

"From the stimulating intro on you’ll tap your feet, without even noticing it. This is the wake-up-call I want to hear when I can’t get out of my bed in the morning. You simply can’t resist this shot of adrenaline. This is what elevating pop is all about. Vitalizing, energizing, and galvanizing. In a normal world, this should be a global hit. Oh yeah, I feel quite euphoric and, trust me, you’ll have your heart beat as fast as mine after just one spin. Hopefully, we can all come out of the lockdown shadows pretty soon."

Blood From Tear Ducts

‘End Credits’ is a nihilistic yet optimistic track about slipping into the unknown of the afterlife. Musically joyous, lyrically dower this track perfectly sums up the highs and lows of realising our human condition as we hopelessly and defiantly trudge towards the end.

End Credits

Produced by David Pye.

Lyrics:
I wanted to be unknown, a stumbler into the fog
The path drew shy of complete, an ankle deep into the bog
I wondered, if you’d be there, laughing aloud, smug in despair
slump backward, in unison, I’ll harbour you, and lay you bare

love you, forever, dropped the ball, pick it up
phantom, in ether, everyones watching

love you, forever. have the gall, take the fall. phantom, in ether. everyones watching.

buckle up, and dive on down, don’t fear the fear you haven’t found

Phantom Mantra

My Life. Your Life. Our Life - Popcorn Fiend

"Scandi-rock perfection". Dots And Dashes

"It's indie rock goodness, draped in beautiful guitars that shimmers and falls around your ears like rain". Sirens of Decay

"Driving energy, effortlessly layered guitars and just the right amount of experimental sound choices mean that that the music they’re making is just incredibly satisfying to listen to. Indie rock as a genre is overflowing with average bands. So why waste your time? Listen to Great Hare instead." Dani Charlton, Amazing Radio

"Great Hare brings a soft voice, a powerful guitar, so hint of old fashioned taste and they managed to mix it all together and create a song that is both powerful and relaxing"
Wolf In A Suit

"...an outstanding monolith of melodramatic dream-pop".
Dots And Dashes

"It's damn near impossible not to like "Rock n Roll Dreams".
Don't Need No Melody

“Only the Birds,” is a soft, and sweet melody, perfect for snuggling with your lover on a rainy day".
Girl Underground Music

"I’ve heard a couple of songs from this band, and although they’re unsigned at the moment, I don’t expect that to be the case for very long." This Is That Song

"The audience is taken on a floating ride of shimmery summer haze as the guitars weave their way across the room..."
Emerging Indie Bands

Swedish indie rock band Great Hare formed around 2010 when four friends got together after a long hiatus from music. Naming the band after nocturnal chance encounters with wild hares, they turned a loft into a recording studio and brought drums, guitars, tape delay machines, keyboards, pink chorus pedals, an old piano and influences from the post-punk era they grew up in. They turn up at nights looking for melodies that want to be turned into songs. The good ones arrive like waves hitting a beach or echoes of something submerged under the surface.
