Such a wonderful and brilliant song - really love it ❤️

Liked this a lot and the way you used the samples. Reminded us a bit of Search Party, from our Archives. :)

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 23rd November: 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/batch387

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.

Frozen Willow, Piano Solo ℗

The second single released from The Frisbys upcoming E.P 'My Wicked Mind'. My Wicked Mind is released on 26th June 2020 via Dantbaccus Records.

Lyrics:
Bright lights, inner city
Your mouth tastes sweet
I get so alone now
I just don't know what I

Feel your getting closer
Feel you inside my head
So scared I could drop this
I just don't know what I like
Know what I like...

Heart aches, lungs are burning
Room seeps sweat and smoke
Whispered I know what's better
I just don't know what I,
know what I, know what I

Woah lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Embrace this night for sinners
Know the devils out
Guarded I let him take me
I just don't know what I
Know what I, know what I


Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me  back to you
Woah Lead me to the water
Lead me back to you

Hold me down to the river
Let me lay my head
Hold me down to the river 
Let me lay my head

The number seven has long been associated with good luck and magical forces. But in the case of singer-songwriter Monique Barry, there's a great deal more to both that particular number and her musical output than just fortune's favour and a bit of enchantment. Her latest song, “Coyote”, is the seventh single in a series of innovative and highly individual releases that will add up to a finished album titled HAAK. And as the song climbs through its narrative peaks and varying stylistic passages it very quickly becomes apparent that “Coyote” is the result of vision and skill rather than mere luck, and the magic here can be found in Monique's creative focus and the inspiration she draws from the natural world and our interaction with it.  

Never one to resort to the expected, Monique has always been quick to discover her creative influences and thematic material in a variety of contrasting sources. Her new single began to take form when it was reported that a coyote had been seen in Toronto in her own neighborhood, leading to a set of lyrics addressing the troubling dynamic of mutual invasion: namely, the animal's encroachment on urban settings which has been brought about by man's destruction of wildlife habitats. Both confrontation and avoidance are part of the conflicting forces that Monique explores here as she depicts the response of urban humanity to the presence of the canine outsider. Rather than confront the significance of the animal's presence, the action taken by the local citizens is to record the novelty of the coyote's image on cell phones—capturing the animal, in a sense, in a secondary new and artificial environment. Further to this, “Coyote” also comments on how we confuse the meaning and impact of what's being stored on our electronic devices. In this collision between man and beast, entrapment claims both the intruder (who is forced to live in an alien surrounding not suited to it) and the human inhabitants (who can't interact with the animal and must monitor its activities from a distance within the safety of indoors). 

Driving Monique's latest single is a rich electroacoustic mix of guitarwork that artfully writhes and ripples as it floats through the song; crisp, cracking percussion; soaring keyboards; and a musical atmosphere that carries the lyrics into a very private but beckoning environment all its own. Joining Monique on “Coyote” are some of her most trusted and vibrant collaborators: Kevin Lacroix on electric guitar; Alisdair Jones on bass guitar and synth bass; Michael Wojewoda on drums and vocals; and Emma Campbell, also on vocals. As well as giving us the lead voicework, Monique also plays Native Instruments ‘Noire’ piano with particle engine.

‘End Credits’ is a nihilistic yet optimistic track about slipping into the unknown of the afterlife. Musically joyous, lyrically dower this track perfectly sums up the highs and lows of realising our human condition as we hopelessly and defiantly trudge towards the end.
