Discovered

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 30th January 2023: 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/batch475

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.

Once I began writing after a month or two following a 30 year layoff. This is the second song which tells the story of being locked in a small condo and just being serve for divorce. This is my story and I am sticking to it.

Im Zwielicht

Shortened version of my latest EP "Never Let You Go". This EP features new and different versions of my song Never Let You Go.

The first track is the "alternative version" of the song, with different lyrics to the original song.

There is a "classic" 1980s type 12-inch extended version of the song, along with a dub version, in the style of my remixes for Pitch Black and Tom Bailey.

I wrote the song for my wife's birthday. She's definitely the perfect mother and perfect wife.

The song has already been played on the radio in the UK and round the world. It was described as tragic and a heartbreaker!

It marks a move away from my previous chillout and dub styles to a more new wave and synthpop style which is inspired by my love of bands like OMD, Kraftwerk, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode and other bands that started out in the 1980s.

You can find the full version of the EP with two extra tracks on my Bandcamp site - https://mistrust.bandcamp.com/album/never-let-you-go-ep

Never Let You Go 12 Inch Single

‘The Other Side’ is the first track from my upcoming EP; ‘Dark Before The Dawn’. It touches on dealing with mental health and coming through the other side stronger. The aim of this song is to help people struggling and inspire them to take positive action to deal with it and talk about it.

"Yellow and Grey" recalls Mistrust's recent train journey to Port Sunlight (the historic workers' village in Wirral, UK), on the ageing yellow and grey trains that pass through the village. These trains are being replaced by shiny new modern trains which are also yellow and grey! Hence the line "Yellow and Grey is here to stay!" The song's overall themes are nostalgia and new beginnings!

"Yellow and Grey" includes a line from the poem "From a Railway Carriage" by Robert Louis Stevenson (can you spot it?), and there's also a nod to the classic Kraftwerk song "Trans Europe Express" with Mistrust recording a German language version of Yellow and Grey ("gelb und grau") which is released alongside the original song.

Both songs are taken from Mistrust's forthcoming album which is out in Spring 2023.

Tim Blackburn, the UK singer-songwriter and remixer who records as Mistrust, is back with a new single called "Yellow and Grey". It marks his first new material since the release of his single "Never Let You Go" last year.

Yellow And Grey

Available Now on Limited Edition CD at https://mistrust.bandcamp.com/album/yellow-and-grey-ep-2

Dies ist die deutsche Version des Songs Yellow and Grey von Mistrust.
"Yellow and Grey" erinnert an Mistrusts kürzliche Zugfahrt nach Port Sunlight (dem historischen Arbeiterdorf in Wirral, Großbritannien), in den alternden gelben und grauen Zügen, die durch das Dorf fahren. Diese Züge werden durch glänzende neue moderne Züge ersetzt, die auch gelb und grau sind! Daher die Zeile "Gelb und Grau ist hier für immer !" Die übergeordneten Themen des Songs sind Nostalgie und Neuanfänge!

Gelb Und Grau

Kindergraph is an independent musician making music in his attic with beats, synths, pianos and noises. Songs turns out however they turn out but the influences in the background probably include Fourtet, DJ Shadow, Mum, Emancipator, Boards of Canada, Massive Attack, The Blue Nile, TWDY, Wolf Alice, Jonsi, and the full gamut of 80s melodic pop. Sometimes playful, sometimes sad, sometimes triumphant, always curious.
