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 25th January: 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/batch392

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.

Landkeepers in disused lines 
Are drinking California wine
And new machines 
Wait in the wings. 

Inventions dressed as relief
The valley has become a thief
And now the dream
Is behind a screen.

I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go.

Hypnotised by my routine
Curate my security
I dreamed so long (I've been dreaming so long)
That the world was gone.  (Where has the world gone?)

I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go.

Before diving into the drudgery 
Just hold on to the sides
Just hold on to my mind 
Where everything resides
There was violence on both sides
There was chaos in my mind.

I Woke Early To Dial In To Some Sacred Frequency

The band called TV FACE are releasing a single on the last Friday of every month during 2020. This is July's single - She Gets Old. A telephone tale of a tabloid tragedy.

The singles are being compiled in three CD EPs released in April, August and December with hand screen-printed artwork designed by singist/guitarist sTeVe. She Gets Old will be featured on our 2nd EP released in 28th August 2020.

FFO: Sleaford Mods, Shellac, The Prodigy, Slowthai, Deftones

‘PAYDAY’ is the relentless first single from Minas’s debut album “All My Love Has Failed Me”

‘Payday’ incorporates a clash of punk and electronica that James Minas as a producer has crafted over the course of three years alongside his band (bassist Bob Williams and drummer Greg Davies).  It’s a skewed sideways track with a simplistic yet aggressive bass and drum combination sitting unrelentingly under a strung out, spitting vocal performance.

Taking influence from the DIY punk of Shellac and experimental electronica from Burial, Minas has combined a wide lineage of influence, as well as considering new sounds and messages from the likes of Slowthai and Sleaford Mods. This combination, plus further strong inspiration from The Prodigy and Deftones, makes up a musical, lyrical and thematic basis on which Minas has threaded through stories both grounded in his own reality and conjured up to reflect the state of society.

‘Payday’ digs into frustration and angst with a crooked grin attached. Self deprecating humour describes an almost idle boredom marked by depravity and desperation. Its chorus speaks to the title “I get paid Friday, trust me I am good for it” Minas howls over the increasing noise of his band. 

The last year has been Minas’s most prolific, releasing two singles ‘Drinker’ and “Burner” (both with forward thinking music videos and playlisted by Dummy magazine) as well as the EP ‘Nudge’, written, recorded and released in a span of a couple of months in lockdown. Minas was also granted BBC Horizons Launchpad funding in cooperation with the Arts Council Of Wales. This has afforded him the opportunity to create a unique recorded live show during a time where his charged, manic, crowd-fueled sets aren’t possible. Set within the walls of a circus rehearsal space in what was once a Cardiff chapel, the three piece band played through the album to no one. The show is set to be released with the album later this year.

‘All My Love Has Failed Me’ was put together in 2019, and includes engineering contributions from Charlie Francis who has worked with Future Of The Left and Manic Street Preachers. Francis has become a vocal supporter and production mentor to Minas over the last few years.

LYRICS

I was dragging my ass across the floor like a dog, mate.
You got like 4 and I’ll pay you later? Mate?
He was like “you’ve had 6 off me this week bruv!” Mate!
Ha this tolerance mate it’s gone up init.
Though…

I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.

My housemates staying in his room,
We’re blasting tunes, I mix up codeine in the kitchen while he munches his noodles.
My parents were punks and I’m being youthful,
What is this revelation, we’re all stuck on phones, you’ll get run over,
I used to break shit to fix things.

I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.

All My Love Has Failed Me

Better Days - Single

Another experiment with electric guitar loops. The main difference between today's and yesterday's (https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/passing-waves) is that yesterday's was recorded serial, so anything coming from the first loop also appeared in the second loop. That gave it a certain density, but, well, it also gave it a certain density. This was recorded in parallel, meaning whichever looper was recording at a given moment was only recording what was being played by the guitar, not what happened to be coming out of the other looper. This means the density took quite a while longer to achieve, but also that the individual segments are much more distinct, even after density has accrued. Also, the loops are quite a bit longer. Recorded from stereo speakers into a phone (yesterday was from a mono amp), though I'm not sure if the separation is particularly apparent. Major noise reduction in Adobe Audition, and a tiny amount of reverb.

Doldrums

Ruth wrote Way the Wind Blows when she was 12 years old. The lyrics reflect on missing her dad whilst growing up as he worked as a touring musician. Now 23, she has reimagined the song with her band, featuring guitars from James Cooke, recorded by Mark Lewis at Germanium Studios in Manchester.
