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 1 November: 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/batch424

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 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 424

Soundcloud hits 1

"KILL, THE ICON!" is an exploration of cultural icons and iconoclasts, viewed through the lens of pop culture.

"Buddhist Monk" is an exploration of the self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc. Modern protests are often performative and derived for the aim of social clout. This song aims to tell the story of a protestor who put it all on the line.

Released in November 2021, Buddhist Monk was the debut single from KILL, THE ICON! It has received consistent airplay on Amazing Radio and Amazing Radio USA.

GATHER THE PEOPLE

Foolhardy is the new single from Brighton duo Seadog and the title track of their new EP released on 22.10.21 via Austerity Records on digital and limited edition blue sparkle cassette. The EP compiles recordings made throughout the lockdowns of 2020-21 and features early versions of new songs that will appear on Seadog's forthcoming album Internal Noise. Also featured is a remix by Champion Fever.

Recorded at Bella Union Studios, Brighton, the title track is a cavalcade of wonky electronics and euphoric guitars featuring Jack and Lily Wolter from Penelope Isles – Jack on drums, additional guitar and production while Lily provides backing vocals.

Sunshine Are You Mine?

I think the lyrics speak for themselves,  many of us go through life feeling like a slave to the system, deep down we know there's more to life, shouldn't we be here to work to live not live to work...

Fools Gold

Seadog is the Brighton-based dream-pop project led by musicians Mark Benton and Tom Chadd. Blending lush melodies with anthemic electric and acoustic textures, Seadog crafts songs that drift between lullaby and anthem, weaving influences into a rich tapestry of sonic storytelling. Following their debut album Cabin Fever Blues —produced in part with legendary engineer Phill Brown (Talk Talk, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones) Seadog returned with their second album, Internal Noise. Born in the stillness of the 2020 lockdown and brought to full life at Bella Union Studios in Brighton, the record features production from Jack Wolter of Penelope Isles, who also contributes drums, guitars, and backing vocals. His sister and bandmate Lily Wolter adds further depth with her guest vocals on the album, enhancing the intimate yet expansive feel of the recordings. Seadogs music has been championed by a range of respected voices, earning airplay on Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing The South. Their single Tidal Wave marked a major step forward, selected for Tom Robinsons BBC Introducing Mixtape on 6 Music and spotlighted on Lauren Laverne's BBC 6 Music Recommends show. With Internal Noise, Seadog continues their ascent, creating music that's as emotionally resonant as it is sonically adventurous songs that soar, shimmer, and stay with you.

"Tidal Wave ticks all the boxes for me...but above all, it sounds like it's flying and I have a soft spot for songs that sound like they are flying." - Jason Lytle (Grandaddy)

"Really love Tidal Wave, lovely melody and the chorus lifts off so well." - Matthew Caws (Nada Surf)

"Seadog have been quietly working their way into our hearts through a consistent run of tracks released over the last few years. Seadog's home within our hearts is set for many more years to come." - Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/Bella Union)

"Really pretty good and nice voice"- David Crosby
