Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 1 October: from midday on Friday 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/batch298

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

LYRICS
The wind brings a familiar song 
It plays with your hair
as you sing along
without making a sound

As you walk, the streets unfold 
Winding up and down
as if time had stopped
many centuries ago
You’ve stepped inside a postcard

When the sun sets over the Abbey
angels are climbing out of the yellow stone
I’ve never felt so close to Heaven
But where will you go when you are so at home?

You smile so hard, you barely feel 
your dreams paling, disappear 
while the music lives on
It’s in the smoke on the water

When the sun sets over the Abbey
angels are climbing out of the yellow stone
I’ve never felt so close to Heaven
But where will you go when you are so at home?

As for me, the price too high
though I know I can’t get away
without leaving a piece of my soul behind

When the sun sets over the Abbey
angels are climbing out of the yellow stone
I’ve never felt so close to Heaven
But where will you go when you are so at home? 
I could call this home

Born Before the Wind

When The Sun Sets Over the Abbey

Lyrics:

a heart wants to run free of heavy bags
but it gets held up
it gets caught in the calendar's hands

the first beat smooth as a new seed
it gets pulled up
it gets dragged through the soil and the weeds
it's growing again

the mild ignorable pain
of the same thing happening again 
 
the next day
that could be the day the demon calls
whispers softly in your ear:
this life and every small calamity
or great insignificance
will return to you
return to you

it goes around
the head to the bended knee
it comes around
a drop in the same old sea
lapping gently at your sides
rising up like a tide, like a tide

like the mild, the mild ignorable pain
of the same thing happening again
the mild ignorable pain
of the same thing happening again 

no answers hidden in the question
the pressure contains no release
the mind goes
inevitable, inevitable, inevitable
the spirit will always follow

it goes around
the head to the bended knee
it comes around
a drop in the same old sea
lapping gently at your sides
rising up like a tide, like a tide

like the mild, the mild ignorable pain
of the same thing happening again

Difference & Repetition

MALMØ’s new single ‘The Way (feat. Eivør)’ is out now.

Taken from the recently released debut album ‘We Come From The Stars’, the new single sees Danish 5-piece MALMØ teaming up with acclaimed Faroese singer-songwriter Eivør (Game of Thrones, God of War, The Last Kingdom) to share vocal duties with the band’s own Maria Malmoe. 

The video, choreographed by Laura Feline Ebbesen and filmed by Michelle Berg and Stinna Skrivergaard, reflects the tribal vibe of the track and Maria’s inspiration for writing it:

"The Way is about getting lost in the woods and finding your way through the wild. Ancient voices and tribal drums echo in the deep. You want to run and run without knowing where you’re headed. There it is, my ‘Way’, curvy and unknown but mine to follow. I leap off on the first step."

Previous singles ‘You’ and ‘We Come From The Stars’ created a good buzz, with spot plays on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Ulster, Amazing Radio, Shoreditch Radio and numerous regional stations, and Spotify playlisting from the likes of Crack In The Road, Alex Rainbird, Double J, Listen To Discover, TUNE, Big Tune IMR & Spotify editorial support as far away as Taiwan.

“Powerful, cinematic … ‘The Way’ is a brooding giant” Dancing About Architecture

“Bringing fragility and rawness into beautiful harmony” – Lo-Fi

 “Captivating” Get In Her Ears
