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 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/batch445

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 445

„Nigel The Gannet“ by The Burning Hell 
off forthcoming album Garbage Island (June 24) https://bbislandmusic.com/shop/the-burning-hell-garbage-island-vinyl-cd


The Burning Hell preview the upcoming and highly anticipated opus/epic Garbage Island with a sweet-hearted examination of the life of an individual in society, a world filled with good intentions but inevitable misunderstandings. 

It just so happens that it’s the story of a bird: Nigel The Gannet. 

(Nigel the Gannet is the true story of a gannet in New Zealand, who briefly became an international media star when he died of old age next to the concrete decoy gannet he had chosen as his mate. Though the press spun his story as a lonely one, the band takes a different perspective:)

Gently referencing XTC’s own Making Plans for Nigel, but trading the capitalist alienation and dread for a warmer new wave of synth hooks and programmed swing, The Burning Hell celebrate the loner, the non-conformist, and a life on the edge, aware of the difference between being lonely and being alone.

The animated video for the song was done by Ariel Sharratt, who says: "Ultimately, as a smallish band if there's something we want to do, we usually have to do it ourselves. That was the case for this video, where I learned some basics of animation and then taught myself on the job. This was my first animation project, and I absolutely loved the process of creating a world for Nigel to navigate -- a world that's like ours: full of incredible beauty, colossal waste and destruction, and hopefully some sort of happy ending."

January and June 

lyrics by Adam Cooper

Blood-red skies and dirt brown eyes
The only specks of colour inside
in my honestly
black-white mind

Quaking Earth and stormy seas
The only cracks of sound tonight
In our hollowed-out 
wrecked burned tree

I was January and you were June
I was flowing water and you were flame
And between you and I
only distance filled the air

Thunder, sighs and empty days
The only remnants from then
Of the mess we made
At least I tried

I was January and you were June
I was flowing water and you were flame
And between you and I
only distance filled the air

January and June

Stronger Together

Je m’en vais

Mes enfants, mon amour,
Ma famille, mes amis,
Je m’en vais…

Je savoure le bonheur d’avoir croisé vos routes
Et partagé vos heures de paroles et d’écoute.
Je vous quitte enrichi de toutes nos histoires,
De ces instants de vie tapissant nos mémoires.

J’écoute vos hommages et j’ai le cœur serré
Par les beaux témoignages de vos voix enrouées.
Je murmure à mon tour au creux de vos oreilles
Des mélodies d’amour, des mercis, des merveilles.

Mes enfants, mon amour,
Ma famille, mes amis,
Je m’en vais…

Que ce jour soit celui d’un joyeux au-revoir
Qui dissipe les doutes et fait grandir l’espoir.
Guidé par la lumière qui jaillit de vos cœurs,
Mon âme est bien légère, lumineuse et sans peur.

Je chéris votre amour et loue votre courage
D’accompagner le jour de mon dernier voyage.
Gardez bien dans vos cœurs vos plus grandes richesses,
Tous ces petits bonheurs comme autant de promesses.

Je promets d’être là, je vous tendrai les bras, quand viendra
Le moment pour chacun de suivre mon chemin, je serai là.

Mes enfants, mon amour,
Ma famille, mes amis,
Je m’en vais…

Pleurez, riez, chantez, vous me ferez honneur,
Priez si vous voulez, écoutez votre cœur.
Moi je vous remercie, vous m’avez tant offert,
Et tant comblé ma vie, chacun à sa manière.

Je me sens bien léger, n’en déplaise aux porteurs
Qui peinent à lutter contre la pesanteur.
Ayez de l’indulgence pour celui qui doit dire
Les mots de circonstance à l’heure du partir.

Je promets d’être là, je vous tendrai les bras, quand viendra
Le moment pour chacun de suivre mon chemin, je serai là.

Mes enfants, mon amour,
Ma famille, mes amis,
Je m’en vais…

Mes enfants, mon amour,
Ma famille, mes amis,
Je m’en vais…

Je m'en vais (maquette originale)
