Best of May 2021

May 2021 Playlist

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 17th May: 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/batch406

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.

"Fragile Man"
Music and Lyrics by Ian Abel
Produced by Carey Clayton
Mixed by Carey Clayton
Mastered by Nicholas di Lorenzo

(c) Ian Abel 2021

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST: 
"Fragile Man" was written in 2018 and recorded in early 2020, before the brutal murder of George Floyd by police officers in May 2020. I never intended for the lyrics to be literal, but I need to acknowledge that they are for many people in our society. It is not my place to speak anyone else's pain, but please know that I stand with all victims (and all survivors) of white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and hate.

All proceeds from “Fragile Man” will be donated to the Peter Cicchino Youth Project, the Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo, and the Sex Workers Project.  There are links to these orgs below (please consider donating!), as well as additional advocacy and support resources for POC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

--LYRICS--

You know I tried
But your wounded pride is not my fault
For every inch, I gave a mile
And yet you wonder why you still feel small

Make me fall on my knees, and pray for my dignity

Fragile Man, how can you stand on my neck
And pretend that you’re the one who’s hurtin’, you’re the one who’s hurtin’
Fragile Man, how can you stab me in the chest
Even when you know I don’t deserve it, oh 

So what’s the use
Of all that I do to give you what you seek
Misery’s a clever ruse
A sad excuse to keep my company

Enough is enough, from your silver tongue

Fragile Man, how can you stand on my neck
And pretend that you’re the one who’s hurtin’, you’re the one who’s hurtin’
Fragile Man, how can you stab me in the chest
Even when you know I don’t deserve it, oh 

Please grant me freedom
Why can’t we be even?
Leave this space between us
Oh please

Fragile Man, how can you stand on my neck
And pretend that you’re the one who’s hurtin’, you’re the one who’s hurtin’
Fragile Man, how can you stab me in the chest
Even when you know I don’t deserve it, oh 

Fragile Man, how can you stand on my neck
And pretend that you’re the one who’s hurtin’, you’re the one who’s hurtin’
Fragile Man, how can you stab me in the chest
Even when you know I don’t deserve it, oh

Fragile Man

Living in color
All back together
Oh wow
We dreamed of each other
We dreamed of something better
And now

Forever now
Let’s stay
Always
Let’s stay
Together now

Stay forever

Stay together
Stay together
Stay forever
Stay forever

Living in wonder
Heaven but better
Oh wow
Louder than thunder
Louder than all sound ever
And now

Let’s stay
Always
Let’s stay 
Forever now
Let’s stay
Always
Let’s stay
Together now

Stream 'Lost' : https://sinqa.fanlink.to/lost

Singer and multi-instrumentalist, Sinqa was born and lives in Paris. He writes, records, and produces all his music himself. His new single ‘Lost’ is like a psychedelic dream; it will take only a few bars before you’re swept away by a fierce groove. The young producer already has the groove and the feeling of an old hand, and delivers an infectious single with delectable instrumentation, brought to life by Sinqa’s magnificent vocals and catchy melodies.

You Don't Calm Me Down Anymore

Draw another circle describes a melodic and melancholy walk around familiar roads and paths that lead into one another. A circuitous route through small town love.

The relaxed, strolling acoustic rhythm and high floating melodies sooth while the thud of synth bass and drum make you quicken your step or press down harder on the go pedal . This New Wolves sound is slowly becoming more familiar and distinct with these old world acoustic and recent world synth sounds meshing together.

"Written in the Autumn of 2020 when the world had shrunk down to a few alleyways and empty streets around my part of the city, I felt both comforted and lost. Draw another circle came out of this time and place."

Mixed and mastered by Eddie Al-Shakarchi who produced Boy Azoogas' debut album.

Bleedways, the new single from Said Sara, drops everywhere on May 14, 2021.
Mastered by Jesse Nichols at the Atomic Garden West, Oakland, CA.

Bleedways

Raw synth saw riffs over folky acoustic guitar. Cathedral level reverbs under a pounding 80s synth bass. Contrasts that mould together into a strong, unique sound.
Think Elliott Smith, Hot Chip, Kraftwerk and Broken Bells.

New Wolves are a 3 piece indie electronica band formed in 2019. Brought up in the space where the Welsh mountains rise and the old industries fail, the band throw both concepts in their acoustic meets broken synthesizer instrumentation, and high, floating vocals with contrasting low, rhythmic harmonies. 

Recommended by ROLLING STONE magazine:
"New Wolves are meddling into electronic pop with such a self confidence that it is surprising not to already hear them on all air waves and in all ears that have a good taste. To be continued!"

THE REVUE writes:
Think Phoenix or a more refined, more intimate, and less over-produced version of Muse.  The sky is the limit for the Welsh outfit, who could be one of 2021’s breakout stars. Fueling this belief is “Influencer”.
