Moderator faves!

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 January 31st: 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/batch434

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 434

Includes all tracks selected for the weekly Eclectic Picks Playlist on Freshonthenet in 2022.

All I know about

Growth

“Really cool!” – George Godfrey (Radio X)
“Love that sound. Love that band” – Frankie Francis (Amazing Radio, Frankie & The Heartstrings)
“I love it” – Rhys Downing (Mark Ronson, Peter Doherty, Bruno Mars)

Happy Science return with new single The Last Goodbye (impacting on Friday 28th January) – an intoxicating taste of what’s to come from the North London four piece since their recent signing to Margate based label Launderette Records.

Following on from their electric debut Future Vertigo, which made the Amazing Radio playlist for three straight weeks, The Last Goodbye delivers on all fronts. Recorded at Shrunken Head Studios (King Krule, Ghostpoet), London and produced with intelligence, raw energy, sweat and meaning, it’s time we all start listening to what Happy Science are saying.

“A tale of deceit, the deceased, a depleting fleet, it’s all on repeat, story screamed and barked, guitars sharp as glass, bass trudging from the start, the last one at the bar”– Calum Connaughton, Frontman 

To celebrate the release, Happy Science will be playing an exclusive launch party at the über-cool Shacklewell Arms in Hackney, London. Free limited tickets are available via Dice: https://bit.ly/TLGreleaseshow 
From pub-going eccentrics to creative dynamites, Happy Science are the band you can’t live without. They claim to be an “alternative to alternative rock music” and their fuzz filled, modern pop offerings more than live up to that claim. North London based Happy Science are not a band in any traditional sense of the word. A collective of producers, mix engineers and multi-instrumentalist songwriters; Happy Science are a melting pot of creative innovation.

As with many other artists, Happy Science were hit hard by the pandemic. The band were set to officially launch themselves in spring 2020; with a raft of shows booked throughout summer 2020. Instead, the four-piece spent their time writing and recording; honing their skills and producing songs to be excited about. Their much-anticipated debut show at The Shacklewell Arms, London in June sold out and their high-octane live performances have been much talked about.

Our new single ‘David Bowie’ is an unapologetic, and heartfelt tribute to one of our favourite artists. The song also serves as it’s own Bowie trivia quiz, as it name checks so many Bowie songs. How many can you identify?

What a Prawny treat to work on.. 

Meat and Prawns are a conceptual abstract feminist punk male/female duo from Bristol working on their first album.

They are below the social media radar. 

Their style can be defined by their mood and their mood is unpredictable.

Lyric

I’m off to play cribbage with Gandalf
He can sell his  glitter with glee
Wiping off a lyric with a hardwired spoon
It’s never too soon to bitch about the cheesecake smiles

So we crowdfunded his lasers
Which apparently were   cold
This condimental paradox ties us up in knots in every weather
Call off your gibbon platoon

We got robotic mice in the pantry
Stabbing our pickles with Jive / Chives
This echo dot  sale of the century
When Nicholas Bloody Parsons arrives

I’m not saying you ain’t funky
Your gargantuan crocodile smile
But your wah-wah pedal sure is sounding clunky
Fundamental Ornamental never too late to celebrate the cheese we H I D E

"Reaching for the Song" is the first debut release of mine as a solo artist. The song itself is moving, personal, engaging and and described also as "uplifting' by some. It is open to interpretation with its meaning -as are any songs in my opinion as an artist and listener/fan of music generally - hoping to reach to listerners who connect with the notion that sometimes we have good intentions, try our hardest at something and yet are "falling" or feel we are failing despite our big heart's intentions.

Reaching For The Sun (Master).wav

i remember meeting lauren
i remember meeting ivy
i remember meeting amy, then tara
i remember the first show i saw here
and war pigs in the lecture hall
play that champagne supernova solo again
i'll kill you

all in the wrong order
i remember cleaning up glass
smashing it too
no good mornings
and a reading of this tao lin poem
bring me my wine

i left myself in the river
i left myself in the river

i'm in a good place

i'm thinking of a colour
i'm thinking of the nice things
in the river

'Tower of Babel' was born of humming birds and the three years of viscous river ooze dripping from our mouths. a boschian tale of queer fertility, a line under everything, a nervous glimpse of something scurrying under the bed. all this and more explored throughout its monumental twenty minute runtime. this album stumbles naked from noise rock to hyperfolk, always completely delirious, vomiting darkwave and a kind of minimalism onto your lawn.

the first single is called 'manta ray'. something horrible has washed up on the shore, in your room, at the club, in this dream. in this dream i am running towards some glimmer of moonlight, hollow and completely out of my mind.

i am trying to break through to you, the listener; i want nothing more than to be the swirling vortex of feedback and pop sensibilities that you need me to be. this album is a part of that, i think. i hope there is something for you, no matter how brief. thank you.
