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 2nd October, 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/batch503

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.

I used to be the one 
I used to be your getaway dreamer 
I couldn’t get enough 
Thinking that we would last forever 
Don’t know what you’re thinking of 
Slipping further out of reach 
To the edge of town we could go 
Away from all the world to see 

You were wild trying to set yourself free 
I didn’t see the signs right in front of me 

Oh, I’m running in the night so soon 
I’ve got nothing left to lose 
I’m leaving it all behind, running in the night with you 
I won’t let you get away again 
We can see it through to the end 
But whatever we do 
I'm running in the night with you 

I used to be the one 
I used to be your place to land 
Under the shadows 
Into the palm of my hand 
You’re always changing the situation 
Just when we found paradise 
You’re always shutting down my conversation 
I can never read your mind 

Oh, I’m running in the night so soon 
I’ve got nothing left to lose 
I’m leaving it all behind, running in the night with you 
I won’t let you get away again 
We can see it through to the end 
But whatever we do 
I'm running in the night with you 

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh 
Running with the night 
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh 
I’m Running with the night 

I used to be the one 
I used to be your getaway dreamer 
I couldn’t get enough 
Thinking that we would last forever

This is our first single release off of our upcoming EP. Our friends Kevin and Andy from Dog Years played a huge role in writing this song when we were in another band with them, and we kept it with us transitioning into this new band because we were so in love it with it. I want to give them a big 'thank you' for the major contributions and for being cool with letting us keep it! (love you guys) 

You can download this song on our Bandcamp (name your own price): https://oddsweetheart.bandcamp.com/track/structure
All money donated on this track will go towards printing FREE physical copies of the EP once it's done! Any and all contributions are very welcome, it'll really be helping us out a lot! 

Anyway, I thank you all in advance for your support whether it be monetary or moral. I look forward to getting feedback from everyone and I hope y'all like it!

Lyrics: 
I’ve got words on my mind that I’m too scared to speak 
And a burden that’s grown these last couple of weeks 
But I’m too scared to tell you what’s been on my mind 
‘Cause it’s you that’s been crossing it from time to time 

You’re the only structure that’s keeping me up 
You’re my bones, take my heart, break my ribcage apart 
‘Cause I’m already broken, these last couple years 
Have torn me and I have shed blood, I’ve shed tears 

I’ve shed my old skin 
I’ve grown something quite rough 
I’ve grown something that shields from what people call ‘love’ 
And I know that you’ve grown this rough skin like me too 
‘Cause I’ve seen you shed blood and shed tears crystal blue 

I’ve got words on my mind that I’m too scared to speak 
And a burden that’s grown these last couple of weeks 
But I’m too scared to tell you what’s been on my mind 
‘Cause it’s you that’s been crossing it all the time 

You’re the only structure that’s keeping me up 
You’re my bones, take my heart, break my ribcage apart 
‘Cause I’m already broken, these last couple years 
Have torn me and I have shed blood, I’ve shed tears 

I’ve shed.

Wake Owl -  Gold

Postiljonen is a dream pop trio deriving from Scandinavia. The band emerged quietly back in September 2011 and is composed of Norwegian vocalist Mia Bøe alongside Swedish multi-instrumentalists Daniel Sjörs and Joel Nyström Holm.

After releasing a handful of online only singles in their native Scandinavia (including the heartbreaking interpretation of Whitney Houston’s classic ‘How Will I Know’, renamed here to ‘All That We Had Is Lost’) the trio have managed to create a highly characteristic sound, where ethereal and alluring vocals are interwoven in a mystical, ambient, dreamy and lovable expression. They have been compared to the likes of M83, Air France, Sigur Ros, jj and Cocteau Twins.

Taking inspiration from old black and white movies, the golden 80s, Balearic scenery, sleepless summer nights and describe themselves as nostalgic daydreamers, all of which mirrors beautifully within Skyer’s ten songs.

Featuring singles ‘Supreme’ and Atlantis’, Skyer is summery pop music at its best; made for lazy days and dreamy nights.

Skyer is released on July 22 2013.

Postiljonen - Atlantis

This is music inspired by nature, solitude and the unknown, made by someone who probably has too much time on their hands.

Lyrics inspired by ancient myths, legends and poetry, and conversation.

Melodies sung in a mix of English and the humdrum

Recorded in a makeshift home studio and released on limited edition digital bits and bytes.

Stay for a while, see if you like what you hear :)
