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 30th October: 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/batch507

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.

Beast In The Water:

A haunting waltz exploring the myth of the River Man, who keeps the town safe from floodings and drownings in return for an annual human sacrifice. But does the ‘real’ beast lurk underwater or on land…? 

Taken from... 
Hypnagogia: 

To celebrate my first time visiting and performing in Scandinavia this October (and my love of Halloween and spooky season!) I spent the recent heatwave with the curtains closed, soaking up the rich, magical, darkness of Scandinavian horror folklore! I’ve conjured up four new dark narratives in celebration of the turn of the season and teamed up once again with musical warlock Ed Harcourt to bring you ‘Hypnagogia’ – an auditory horror show, featuring the dulcet tones of esteemed actor David Morrissey; acting as our very own Vincent Price. Expect to hear stories of nightmare demonesses, monsters lurking underwater, the goddess of decay off for a night on the town, and terrifying illuminations luring loved ones into the forest… It’s a musical mixed bag of everything from thrashing rock to spooky synths, to David Lynch and Tim Burton inspired cinematic soundscapes.

Buried in the commuter crush
People are bust
Adjusted to just existing
Missing the music of their lives
And I am
One unsung among them too
Not young not old
Just bought and sold
A lost soul soldiering on
Alongside these comrades
The revolution never comes

Oh what were we taught?
How did I get caught?

When once I trembled on Jerolim
My eyes on the sea through the trees
And my shorts around my ankles
Wasn’t I there?
Didn’t I swear there on Jerolim
I’d not become one of the sad silent suffering crowd?
But Jerolim
Look at me now


Pacing through pines the line of my desire tight 
I crossed the threshold of my fear hearing the music of my life
And there along the shore they stood
My fellow men who understood
I took their hands in gay abandon and we sang love songs
As we wandered back inland

Owning our bodies
Knowing we were free

Now all I have of Jerolim
Are memories in a body
Employed for a bad end
Who was it there
That dared on Jerolim
To not be just one of the sad silent suffering crowd?
What happened to him
Jerolim

Divinity is the new single from Skye! It earmarks a new chapter of the band with addition of Ant (our new drummer). 
Divinity was written with the string section first to bring an orchestral element to the forefront of the song, and provide a new dynamic to the Skye sound. 
We feel that ‘Divinity’ captures everything we love in a song, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.

Divinity

"Magic" is a 90s-something, guitar-driven alt-pop track that highlights the willing, yet often unintelligent resignation of one's trust in people and things that are glaringly and obviously untrue. The track explores WHY we find much hardship in walking away from that which destroys us.

Magic

Pearl Jam's 12th studio album, Dark Matter, was released on April 19. With all of the excitement bubbling up within the Pearl Jam and Pearl Jam Podcast Community, we have been waiting for this moment to finally talk about the album. Which is why we got together at midnight ET to talk about the entire thing. Hear our friends share their thoughts about the songs, the references, the production, the melodies and the live implications as we celebrate a band that that has so profoundly impacted our lives. 

While the "positive positive" era may be in the rearview, the mentality remains as we all join in to both react and respond to another wonderful effort from the band!

Killer new brutal track from "Spreading the disease" called "FISSURE" from the forthcoming new album "Purgatory Carnival. one of the UKs best metal bands. 

Spreading the disease - Fissure

LYRICS:
(Verse One)
I’ve read your chats behind my back
I know you’ve said that I’m off track
Your friends on snap swear I’m a maniac

I know you hate me dressed in drag
Your grandparents say I’m a f-
I’m self aware that you don’t brag
You don’t brag

(Pre Chorus)
I just needed time to chill
I just needed time to kill

(Chorus)
I know
I know
I could have changed
For the greater good
For the greater good
I knew
I knew
How i was raised
For the greater good
But there I stood

La la la la la lalala

(Verse Two)
When I’m laying in my room all alone again
I think about why I’m never pictured with your friends
Can I really be the problem on my own end

You never really hear me say I regret it
But I know I’m fucking stupid and pathetic
Maybe I should be the one to change, there I said it

(Pre Chorus)
I just needed time to chill
I just needed time to kill

(Chorus)
I know
I know
I could have changed
For the greater good
For the greater good
I knew
I knew
How i was raised
For the greater good
But there I stood

La la la la la lalala

(Chorus 2)
I know
I know
I could have changed
For the greater good
For the greater good
I knew
I knew
How i was raised
For the greater good
But there I stood

Sofi Bonde - Ease My Mind out now on Melodizer 

https://push.fm/ps/easemymind

About the Song:
"Ease My Mind" is a soaring, uplifting anthem about personal growth, resilience, and the power of self-belief. Through its lyrics, the song captures a journey of letting go of past burdens, silencing the inner critic, and stepping confidently into one's own light.

The verses reflect a clear-eyed determination to break free from old patterns and emotional weight. Lines like "Leave the past when it's old" and "Letting go what I can't hold" show a conscious decision to release what no longer serves. There's also a subtle inner battle present — the "old voice" in the head that the narrator refuses to listen to anymore, signaling a pivotal moment of reclaiming agency.

The chorus, with its repeated plea "Ease my mind," acts both as a prayer and a declaration. It speaks to the desire for peace and clarity, but also acknowledges the high — the rush of hope and excitement when you dare to believe in your own path. The empowering line "No one ever knows your world quite like you do" becomes the heart of the song, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and shine despite doubt or outside judgment.

Musically, a song like this would likely build on emotional dynamics — starting introspective, then lifting into a more anthemic, expansive chorus, mirroring the sense of personal breakthrough and uplift the lyrics convey.

At its core, "Ease My Mind" is about transformation: the move from doubt to confidence, from being weighed down to soaring freely. It's a reminder that even when no one else sees your potential, you can — and that's enough to change everything.

Dormancy in Love" is a melancholic, dreamy ballad drenched in longing and poetic yearning. Blending elements of psychedelic pop and indie rock, this track captures the emotional weight of separation and the fragile hope of reunion. With its slow-burning tempo, hazy textures, and heartfelt vocals, Mighty One Man Band paints a vivid picture of solitude and desire, where love feels distant, yet powerfully alive in memory and imagination.

A soundtrack for sleepless nights and daydreamed embraces, "Dormancy in Love" is tender, haunting, and soulfully introspective.
