ECLECTIC PICKS - 2022 (Part 1) (Freshonthenet)

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 7th Nov: 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/batch466

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 466

A Wild West (Norfolk)tale where the Sea Cadets meet Hank Marvin and Lee Marvin in a Lavender field near Hunstanton.

They Died With Their Boots On

The latest single by Americana/Alt-rock band The Blue Highways

Nobody Lives Here Anymore

i remember meeting lauren
i remember meeting ivy
i remember meeting amy, then tara
i remember the first show i saw here
and war pigs in the lecture hall
play that champagne supernova solo again
i'll kill you

all in the wrong order
i remember cleaning up glass
smashing it too
no good mornings
and a reading of this tao lin poem
bring me my wine

i left myself in the river
i left myself in the river

i'm in a good place

i'm thinking of a colour
i'm thinking of the nice things
in the river

'Tower of Babel' was born of humming birds and the three years of viscous river ooze dripping from our mouths. a boschian tale of queer fertility, a line under everything, a nervous glimpse of something scurrying under the bed. all this and more explored throughout its monumental twenty minute runtime. this album stumbles naked from noise rock to hyperfolk, always completely delirious, vomiting darkwave and a kind of minimalism onto your lawn.

the first single is called 'manta ray'. something horrible has washed up on the shore, in your room, at the club, in this dream. in this dream i am running towards some glimmer of moonlight, hollow and completely out of my mind.

i am trying to break through to you, the listener; i want nothing more than to be the swirling vortex of feedback and pop sensibilities that you need me to be. this album is a part of that, i think. i hope there is something for you, no matter how brief. thank you.

PRESS RELEASE
=============
With its washes of synths strings, tinkering electronic piano, detached vocals and layered harmonies delivered in Cromwell’s lush baritone, ‘The Winter Palace’ evokes an icy cold soundscape fit for the months of winter. Where the title track of his recent album ‘Memory Box’ is about losing the power of recall, ‘The Winter Palace’ is about trying to forget a lost love, but being haunted by them in his memory. Cromwell sings to his former love “I dream of you regardless, whether I am asleep or awake”.

With a majestic sweeping synth solo, that wouldn’t sound out of place on Bowie’s ‘Low’, sonically the song sits between classic new wave artists like Joy Division or OMD and more contemporary acts like Ladytron or Black Marble.

The B-side ‘Rod, Jane and Freddy,’ with its squelchy vintage synths and rumbling krautrock beat, is a playful technicoloured instrumental named after the performance group from 1980’s ITV children’s show Rainbow. 

‘The Winter Palace’ was recorded in Cromwell’s home studio in Catford, South London and was produced in Brooklyn, New York at ACME Hall Studio by Rich Bennett.

Since the release of his debut 'Age of Anxiety' album, Rodney Cromwell has been featured by the likes of NME, Electronic Sound, Huffington Post, Paste, Shindig!, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage. He’s had national radio play in Japan, Finland, Germany and multiple spins on RTE in Ireland, on BBC 6 Music in the UK and RNE3 in Spain for whom he recorded a live session.

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating analogue synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s 'offbeat wit'' (NME). His debut festival appearance at Indietracks was described as 'like a spiritual experience". He has shared stages with acts including A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, Rowetta, M!R!M and Steve Davis. His sole performance in 2020 was as part of Damo Suzuki's backing band. In 2022 he recorded a live session for Electronic Sound and in autumn 2022 he is playing a number of dates supporting Blancmange.

The Winter Palace

RODNEY  CROMWELL The Winter Palace (Radio Edit)

Back of the net - Norfolk’s official World Cup song.

Go go go Jude Bellingham Go go go Jude Bellingham 
He runs like the flash and goals he can smash
Go go go Jude Bellingham 

(Chorus)

Its extra time so hold the line, Lions of England, Lions of England
World Cup 22, we’re coming for you, Lions of England, Lions of England
1234 Germy Phil Foden opens the score
5678 The Lions of England celebrate

Go go Bukayo Saka
Go go Bukayo Saka
He dribbles with speed, leaves defenders in need, Go go Bukayo Saka

(Repeat Chorus)

Break

Go go go go Mason Mount
Go go go go Mason Mount
He’s 4 feet 3 but he scores with glee, Go go go go Mason Mount

Go go go go Declan Rice, Go go go go Declan Rice,
They wont get past, theyll be on their arse, Go go go go Declan Rice

(Chorus to end)

Blink Of An Eye

Attacking Wings

A palate cleanser to bring in the New Year for Norfolk's finest.

Peach Mood

Imagine this, Sizewell B explodes, Crops are dead, water brown.
Need to go, grab a bag of stuff
Clothes and phone that should be enough

We got a lift to Dover from a family friend who had spaces in his car
It took about eight hours because the traffic was bad
Everybodys driving fast

The ferries had been long gone and they werent coming back
They had left us on her own
We paid a man from Cornwall forty thousand pounds to sail us far from home

Refugees - thats you and me
Refugees - thats you and me

Eighty five of us on a ten man boat, we’re packed so tight, we’re barely afloat
Suddenly we’re all dumped ashore
While Captain Cash returns to get some more

The French police surround us, put us all in vans
Take us to detention camp
We havent any money, there is nothing to buy and our tents are very damp.

The gendarme tells us firmly that we’re not to stay but we’re heading out quite soon
We’re on 747s and Rwanda bound, we’ll be on that barge by noon

Refugees - thats you and me
Refugees - thats you and me

Men In Black_ Electronic/ Punk

The UK entry for Eurovision 2021 and an early contender for the Christmas No.1 (according to the Diss Express), this is the Sea Cadets first ballad and dedicated to the twin delights of a hot drink and Gardeners World.

Recorded during lockdown in Downham Market, Rob was thoroughly sanitised between takes.

Monty Don

The Sea Cadets are a Kings Lynn band, Norfolk’s premier post-punk Ballroom and Latin outfit.

During the 80’s, Rob was a founding member of Atomic Kitten whilst Gary is best known for his appearances in Sabrina the Teenage Witch before landing the lead in Hamilton on Broadway.

Many thanks to Tom Robinson, BBC Introducing Norfolk and BBC6Music for the airplay.
