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 8th July. 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/batch537

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves 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.

Falling (Vocal Mix)

Love Mode Activated

A rumination on a decade-old connection and where they are now.

LYRICS:
We drive around in your car again
What a way to spend an afternoon for two

We pass the storefronts and the memories
Laminated glass keeps us from what we had
But these shops aren't selling memories
They're merely dreams that we will never get to share

And you could say it's not the best time
But why can't we play pretend?
And what's on the line?
All of my values
As I point out the line about your scars in my song

I had a dream we fell in love again
And when I wake I feel it slip away
Reading back our chats like poetry
With cheap Shiraz I'll check the read receipt and drink

And you could say it's not the best time
But why can't we play pretend?
And what's on the line?
All of my values
As I point out the line about your scars in my song

I felt a spark so I got in your car and your engine took us home
Where you kept your wedding vows so your God won't strike you down
Has it been ten years?
I haven't a clue
It gets hazy when I drink
And now you've spent a lifetime with him
And I'm aching on my own

Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh

We drive around in your car again

La Calcara

Scava, scava la pietra bianca la cava
le granaglie, calcare
e il mare lontano
scava quel foro, la fornace sfiata lo sfiato del fumo
lo senti il mare lontano che scava la rada?
e qui sul monte, il Poro la Calcara resta sospesa, appesa
e chiama ‘veni veni’.

Spectres

Dig, dig the rock
the white cave dig
the wheat in the lime-kiln
and the distant sea
dig that hole, the furnace discharge smoke
do you hear the distant sea
that digs the shore?
and here in the mountain, il Poro la Calcara rests
hangs suspended
and calls ‘veni veni’.

Space Colony

I took the rings off of my fingers
I took the studs from my ears
and I guess it's the end of my pearl 
clutchin' cause my man...I'm at the pawn shop again
O yea
I got the hok all my shit blues
yea OO
cause there's nothin like the feeling
of this ol leather belt
doubled up on itself
squeezed round my spine
and I ain't got no food on my shelf
babies are cryin'
and I've gone weak in the knees
and there's a hiss in the pipes
it's the last of the gas...
and now they're startin to freeze
O yea
but down at the pawn shop they're always
willing to deal so long as my debt means I'm open to the steal
O yea
I took the rings off of my fingers
I took the studs from my ears
and I guess it's the end of my pearl 
clutchin' cause my man...I'm at the pawn shop again
O yea
I got the hok all my shit blues
booode woo
the hok all my shit blues
oooo
