Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon September 3: from 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/batch294

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 294

Hit Like Hormones

Debut single from the newly formed 'Biddy & The Bullets'
Welcome to a new chapter in UK country.
Marking a definitive move away from country pop, Biddy is back with her full band and they are going dark. If you are a fan of Slash, Audioslave, Delta Rae, Nick Nolan then this is for you.
Sure to raise a few eyebrows, it's not for the faint of heart but it is certainly what we love. 
Due for release 27/05/22

[Verse 1]
You seem so awfully quiet 
So why am I enjoying the silence? 
Did you eat your words for breakfast? 
Are you hungry for me to forget this?

Somehow it’s not easy sailing 
In fact there’s a little bit of waiting 
Did you eat your words for breakfast? 
Did you eat your words for breakfast?

[Chorus] 
Why are you dressed in that coat of anger? 
When baby it’s not your colour 
Oh baby, it’s just not your colour 
And maybe you’ll find a girl that 
Doesn’t care if you're honest 
And will love you for the money in your wallet 
Am I just another coin in the bottom of your pocket? 
In the bottom of your pocket

[Verse 2] 
You seem so suddenly nervous 
Like someone owes you the world 
And it looks like they can’t afford it 
‘Cause they’re wealthy in what’s important

And somehow you feel like a magnet 
I try to pull away but can’t resist 
Am I just another coin lingering? 
Is that why I’m so cosy in the depths of your pocket?

[Chorus] 
Why are you dressed in that coat of anger? 
When baby it’s not your colour 
Oh baby, it’s just not your colour 
And maybe you’ll find a girl that 
Doesn’t care if you're honest 
And will love you for the money in your wallet 
Am I just another coin in the bottom of your pocket? 
In the bottom of your pocket, yeah

[Bridge] 
A copper boy left you out in the city 
I bet he told you he was made gold but really 
He weighed you down ’til you’re heavy, nothing out the ordinary

[Chorus] 
Why are you dressed in that coat of anger? 
When baby it’s not your colour 
Oh baby, it’s just not your colour 
And maybe you’ll find a girl that 
Doesn’t care if you're honest 
And will love you for the money in your wallet 
Am I just another coin in the bottom of your pocket? 
In the bottom of your pocket, yeah, mmm

Nothing Left to Say

Coins

Salford “ghost-gaze” band Carousel Clouds release single ‘Grace (Look No Further)’ on 14th September 2018 via Ranch Records . Available on a name-your-price basis via the Carousel Clouds shop:
https://carouselclouds.bandcamp.com/album/grace-look-no-further
 
Following the 2017 debut single ‘Invisible Lines’ - which Steve Lamacq labelled “entrancing” on BBC 6Music, and Tom Robinson called a “three-and-a-half-minute epic” on the same station - came the 2018 Carousel Clouds debut long-player Tales of Coincidence, an album recorded with three bassists, and yet without a note of bass played throughout the record... 

On ‘Grace (Look No Further)’, the Salford band echo the lyrical theme in the music, changing moods sweeping through its near-200 seconds, their signature haunting shoegaze-psych sound intact.

Forthcoming single ‘Grace (Look No Further)’ is taken from Tales of Coincidence, a tale being vocalist Neil Meehan describes as one of: “Repetition, monotony, hope and euphoria. We tried to match the lyrics to the music, to the extent that an actual heartbeat is used for they rhythm at one stage.”
