sweetly selected | Feb 2023

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 27 February: 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/batch479

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.

Time goes by 
And you‘ll never be around
You could change it or change me
And time goes by 
And you don’t want to be found
You could change it or change me
You know 

You’re always on my mind
You’re always in my heart
You said you will never let me down
No matter where we go
As long as it glows
You said you will never let me down

I tried to count the days 
They seem to last forever
She tried to count the nights 
And thought the moon will save her

You’re always on my mind
You’re always in my heart
You said you will never let me down
No matter where we go
As long as it glows
You said you will never let me down

Save me and awake me 
Don‘t break me anymore
Save me and awake me 
Don‘t break my heart in two anytime

You’re always on my mind
You’re always in my heart
You said you will never let me down
No matter where we go
As long as it glows
You said you will never let me down

Night Noise Team is Sean Ormsby and Fabien Pinardon. Originally from Belfast and Paris but now living in Edinburgh and London. NNT has a sly way with a lyric, a melody, an arrangement. They draw from a well of chansons, funk, rock, pop and soundtrack music. 

New single Little Shocks is direct, European, dancefloor pop with a lyric seesawing between Edinburgh and Barcelona and beats vacillating from brittle to euphoric.

Little Shocks

Misunderstood jumps and jitters into a full-on punk assault right from the off. Speeding through your brain like an out of control, amphetamine powered steam train, the track manages to spit out venomous tounge in cheek lyrics that call out a hypercritical society, where people take the moral high ground without thinking of the consequences of their own actions. So jump in, hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

I thought I could dive in and breathe
Get you branded for a week
Fill up at the feast
And be released 
From the need
To ever eat again

I thought our fire would keep me warm
A memory with all the heat of sun
The way we rub two sticks
And hope a spark sticks
And hope a spark sticks

Over and over and over and over and over 
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over

Over and over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over

But I’m bigger than the devil
Which sings my song
Bigger than the devil
Which won’t let me run
And I’m bigger than the devil
Which beats my drum
And I’m bigger than the devil

I thought I could dive in and breathe
Get you branded for a week
Fill up at the feast
And be released 
From the need
To ever feed again

I thought our fire would keep me warm
A memory with all the heat of sun
The way we rub two sticks
And hope a spark sticks
And hope a spark sticks

Over and over and over and over and over 
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over

Over and over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over and over
And over and over

But I’m bigger than the devil
Which sings my song
Bigger than the devil
Which won’t let me run
And I’m bigger than the devil
Which beats my drum
And I’m bigger than the devil

Bigger Than The Devil

You Can Let Go

A conversation between two lovers.

LYRICS
Cold as ice, caught in the passing of time
I didn’t understand the things that you do
So I settle you down,
“Take in the moment, it’s not gonna come back around”
But you frowned and said:
“For some things in life, you gotta keep those feet on the ground”

I take comfort in you, but That’s All
I don’t feel like you do and That’s All
and sooner or later you won’t want me hanging around

Don’t just stare at the ground
For some things in life are waiting just to be found
And no doubt, I need you tonight
To keep me from just dropping out

I take comfort in you and That’s All
I don’t feel like you do and That’s All
and sooner or later you might just need me around

Is it true…what you say?
Is it true…you’re drifting away?
All that you say…is it even remotely the truth?

Have I lost you?
