Good Tracks

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 9th December: from around midday 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/batch348

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 SoundCloud Go tracks, which can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which will be invisible to everyone. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted will also be removed. 

We will publish a special playlist of all the Christmas-related submissions we've received on Christmas Eve -- these will not appear in this playlist or be considered for the Listening Post.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 348

Rise 01

A cool little tune called "The Icehouse ".  Escape with me to this little jazz club in Minneapolis.

Step inside the frostbitten echo chamber of Three Photons’ latest release, "The Ice House"—a haunting blend of analog soul and spectral blues. This track doesn’t warm you up—it chills you in the best way.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Stella by Starlight
Escaping the real life
Touched by the stardust
She found her real lust
Won't you come on down?

Refrain
Playing all the standards, at the icehouse
Watching it all go down, at the icehouse

Verse 2
Caught in the spotlight
I'm faking the real life
Touched by the starlight
Escaping the real life

Refrain
Playing all the standards, at the icehouse
Watching it all go down, at the icehouse

Verse 3
Stella by Starlight
Escaping the real life
Won't you come on down?

Refrain
Playing all the standards, at the icehouse
Watching it all go down, at the icehouse
Playing all the standards, at the icehouse

Thanks to
- all the politicians who pissed me off
- war mongers and profiteers
- the mindless who follow and never ask a question
- Bill and Nano particles
- 2020 to now
- the biggest thanks goes to YOU for inspiration to stay alive and continue living. I took a deep dive, but came back up for air, polluted as it may be, and channeled the negative into music, where it's healthier for me.

Love one another and live free wherever you find it.

All In My Head

"Got No Luck" is the first single off The Black Mariah Theater's upcoming full length record "Patron Saint", which will be released February 2020.
This moody track is about people who blame the world for their problems, set to a funky drum beat with moody guitar tones and tell-it-like-it-is lyrics.
