WL//WH - FEBRUARY 2024 // Shoegaze /Dream Pop /Psychedelic /Indie Pop

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 19 February 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/batch519

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.

VBM 232 - SLOW SALVATION 'Japan'
Japan is the latest single from dream pop project Slow Salvation. After releasing their debut album 'Here We Lie' in 2023 on Velvet Blue Music the duo of Christina Hernandez and Travis Trevisan continued their cross country collaboration. The results are a brand new single that is simultaneously catchy and dreamy, an earworm for the New Year. Collaborators include Matt McCartie (Driver Eight, Theft) on drums and mastering by Simon Scott (Slowdive).

Being my second solo track, this is a musical form of pixie dust with a little stomp of techno. Throwing in some experimental sounds & samples, you now have Celestial Awakening. 

It's time to wake up!

Celestial Awakening

A folk ballad with reminiscent sounds of the 60s.

Lean On Me

With rhythms inspired by UK garage, lyrically Clydecore is a tale of coercive control told through the romanticised lens of a survivor and offset by imagery of the real experiences of the Barrow Gang. In an instant, guitars and electronics switch from atmospheric to stabbing in a dance of freedom and rage.

Clydecore

It won’t take so long
to sing this sad song.
I wrote this short song
so long ago.

When we said so long
I knew that it was wrong
but we said so long
so long ago.

As long as I am here
I’ll be longing for that year
I spent with you
so, so long ago

but if my memory serves me well
you didn’t take it well
when I said so long
so long ago.

So it’s so long Mary Ann
you were named after that man
who sang So Long, Marianne
so long ago.

Wish I’d found a better end
to this song I won’t be sending
you lost your heart
so long ago.

So Long

Warmest Regards is the first single from the Fishery Commission's returning E.P. "Four Under Three". 

The track addresses the concept of the overwhelming bleakness facing humanity, with the firm belief that the planet will one day fight back and overcome the mess we have made of it. 

Mort Garson meets 8bit over a heavy dub sound system to accompany a set of songs written by a late night torch singer.

Warmest Regards
