ManiSol

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 1sr July 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/batch536

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 536

Our moderators listened to every track we were sent this week and have picked their favourites for your listening pleasure this weekend:

Jump

Obsessionado

Straightforward rock tune that gives you swirling guitar riffs on top of driving drums and bass. Vocal melody lilts over the music with lyrics that simply hit home, and you think, I Might Sing. The song comes together quite busy and erratic, definitely following suit with how it sounds.

Between Daze - I Might

A Robert Plant / Dave Gilmour / Lou Reed influenced Blues Rock demo version of a song originally written way back in 2015. Remixed for licensing or covers in June 2024.

I'll Try Till I Die

Racing Thru Time - Radio Version

Produced by The Vernon Spring (Sam Beste), Hard Down Low is a hymn to resilience and self-compassion. Written in the wake of the pandemic, it formed the first seed of Loa and has shaped their sound from its inception. A steady warmth emerges from the blend of Rick and Genevieve’s voices, while big-horizon production expands around them.


Loa pairs the intricate piano playing of Rick Leigh with the distinctive warmth of vocalist Genevieve Dawson and marks a new beginning in their musical partnership. As independent artists, they have worked alongside Denai Moore, Orlando Weeks, William Doyle and Anna B Savage.

Loa’s approach is both soulful and contemporary; bridging the space between Nils Frahm and Adrianne Lenker whilst calling upon a songwriting inheritance from Joni Mitchell to James Blake.
