Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 17th July: from mid-day 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/batch250

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

星になった人 (Hoshi Ni Natta Hito)

Tom Robinson messaged me!! "Really interesting approach on your new song "Out Of My Hair" in this week's inbox, Helen. That tough, spiky guitar locks right in with the drums & gives the track some real bite. And is that a clavinet in there? Anyway - great direction to be heading in!"

Super exciting to get this feedback. Really pushing my personal comfort zones by actually having my voice on a track! Out of My Hair is coming out as a single on 29th October 2021. And the first that I have sung on myself!!! There's another five tracks on the EP, out Nov 5th, called Rhythm Rising.

This past year has been an absolute voyage of discovery for me and an exploration of my personal creativity and I've been thrilled at the support I've received, especially as I started this in my mid fifties. I have no idea how far I can take this but you can be assured that I will not stop creating and sharing my music with whomever is prepared to do me the honour of listening!

This track will have a rather psychedelic video too, so keep an eye out for that if you like the track.
Thanks for taking the time to listen. It's appreciated more than you can imagine (unless you are also an independent artist and then you'll understand exactly how much it is appreciated!)

All the best,

Helen xx

Out Of My Hair

Part of his ongoing Liturgy of the Hours project, this beautiful new single from Dave Griffiths features semi-improvised piano with stunning ambient pads and field recordings, and is inspired by the peaceful early hours in Dave's home county of Dorset.

یه نگاه تو به ما بندا لااقل بعد بکنمون قضاوت
ببین همه حزب بادن جام بودی نصف راهم نمی اوردی طاقت
من میگم اون که تهش زنده موند تو زمستون
داغ این زندگی تو دلش موند
اینجوری دلمون گرمه که نگرفتیم خفه خون

آب جاری نمی گنده
آبشار میشه اگه نترسه از دره
پشتم گذاشت صفحه
حیثیتم رفته؟ نه
شعورت معلومه از کیفیت نقدت
من خوابیدم تو فکرم
خیالم تخته
می خاری چه داری تو چنته
اونجام که قد نمی ده عقلت
نفسم می کنه زخمت
می کنن شب تا روز چوب لای چرخت
می فروشن شخصیت بت تو یه جعبه
کنترلت کو؟ از دستت رفته
چی میدن کی کجا نشون کانال چنده؟
حرف دارم کلی
بگم که چی شه؟
نمی شه آشتی داد سنگو با شیشه
از هر کی بپرسی اسمم تو لیسته
من تکم و دوتا شم می ریزه سیستم
آخ میزنم داد فساد زد به ریشه
بالاست اونی که با سران قوم و خویشه
بذا صدام تو کوچه بپیچه
عمیق شدم اونقدر توم می زنن شیرجه
میگن ارشاد
میگیم به کی چه ربطی داره زندگیمون چه شکلیشه
قضیه نه پوله نه پرستیژه
بلکه حق آدم رو زندگیشه
من میخوام که یادم بمونه
بعضی قانونا سازنده بوده
بعضی ناعادلانه ان 
بدون که نباید آدم بش پایبند بمونه
ببین بازی رو بردم بدون بودجه
تکتون ریزه و جفتتون پوچه
هیبت شیر دارم همت مورچه
خوندم اینو که بازی باز پشت و رو شه مثل همیشه

یه نگاه تو به ما بندا لااقل بعد بکنمون قضاوت
ببین همه حزب بادن جام بودی نصف راهم نمی اوردی طاقت
من میگم اون که تهش زنده موند تو زمستون
داغ این زندگی تو دلش موند
اینجوری دلمون گرمه که نگرفتیم خفه خون

These Are The Times

In this episode John is joined by Jack &amp; Suren from Bombay Bicycle Club and producer legend Jim Abbiss to talk about how they recorded and produced 'I Had The Blues But Shook Them Loose'. Celebrating 10 years since its release, Jim and the boys reminisce over their experiences working together on this iconic debut and how their relationship and approach to recording and music production evolved from the early days as wide-eyed teens to the later, more experienced sessions. We get to hear the impressive bedroom demos Jack crafted as a music obsessed 15 year old plus fascinating breakdowns from some of the tracks from the album. Listen to find out why 'Dust On The Ground' didn't end up as an 8 minute instrumental, how using a fan can create some pretty unique guitar sounds and hear a brilliant break down of 'Always Like This'. Tracks discussed: Cancel On Me, Dust On The Ground, Always Like This &nbsp; &nbsp;
