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.

Leaving, etc.

With the constant barrage of noise from 'man made' things, fighting for our attention every waking second, many of us forget the soft call of natures voice.
'Jeanes' Debut EP 'Sleeping Leaves' tells stories of sleeping fields, breathing trees & drunken bees.

We are delighted that Folkstock Records are going to be releasing the tracks on this EP as singles over the next few weeks and the EP on 16th June.

Written after reading a quote from Roald Dahl about eye smilers, and photographs called 'Heavenly Creatures' by Benjamin Alexander Huseby of Behati Prinsloo, Felicity Gilbert and Romina Lanaro, showing two girls asleep, entwined in a summer field. Emily Grace Zornado recorded her beautiful layered harmonies and vocals at the height of summer, near a small national park in Danielson Connecticut.

Smiles With Her Eyes is the third track on the EP. It's been cleaned up and re mastered and is available for you to listen to now.

(smiles) With her eyes

when the pollen shoots climb
is the time to see the beauty arrive
under weeping trees, petals shake, anticipate
a smile in her eyes

then she arrives, flesh alive
in brighter skies, lay down beside
then let us lie
your legs entwined

when the forming fruit rise
see the morning sun and tomorrow arrive
honey bees in fields of blossom lakes
her skin awakes

and she smiles with her eyes
then she arrives, says she is mine
when spring is high, lay down beside
and see her smile with her eyes

Written by Russell Jeanes in a Yorkshire wood. Arranged and performed by the wonderful Emily Grace Zornado in America, to whom I will be forever grateful:)

JEANES - Smiles with her eyes  - Arranged & Performed by Emily Zornado

Written and recorded one very sunny afternoon in Brooklyn when I was so sick with summer flu there was nothing else to do but lay down in the sun and stop.

Me!'s Album

Lay Your Heart Out In The Sun

A song from the Brazos River circa 1900 via John Lomax, Bob Dylan, the McGarrigles

Dink's Song (trad)

The second single released from the new album 'To The Islands' by The Magic Lantern. 

Written at a sliding doors moment during a tumultuous return to his childhood home in Australia, the single opens with limpid, crystalline piano chords, before the surprise entry of a driving drum figure introduces the idea that another world is continually below the surface. The song propels the listener along as textures of prepared piano, bass and drums build and break like waves on the shore. Doe’s gently powerful vocal drifts over the pulsing band, drawing on the the poetic image of being alone far out at sea, to urge a message of holding fast during these uncertain times.

The Magic Lantern's third album, 'To The Islands', is due for release on 2 November 2018.

Lyrics > ST PETER 

What more to do   we followed you
From on the mountains to the sea 
And it didn't matter anyway
Cos you know we took our chances 
And we knew you never came to stay 

I held your hand  met your demands 
I spoke in many different tongues 
And it didn't matter anyway
Cos you know I took my chances 
And you know I never meant to stay 

Gabriel Jay  what do you want to do? 
I cannot say  why the mountains have turned blue
Can't you wait Gemma  can't you wait for me?

Gabriel Jay  what did I do wrong?
Everything comes and sings it's only song 
Can't you wait Gemma   can't you wait 
Can't you wait for me? 

Can't you wait Gemma Gemma   
Can't you wait Gemma Can't you wait Gemma
Can't you wait for me? Yeah  oooh 

I was 25 when I wrote this song
I'm 28 now but I won't be for long
All of the colours that are in my head
I see blue green violet and red
What's wrong  this is not a dream
Come on   come on   this is how it seems 
My song   

Oooohh  oooooohhh   yeahhhh 

What's wrong  this is not a dream
Come on   come on    this is how it seems 
Come on 

This song is off my  Edge Of The World EP  recorded in Milano with Giorgio Pasculli as producer/engineer.  It is the final product of 4 years living in Italy and writing/ performing on a classical guitar.

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

‘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.
