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 DATE GOES HERE: 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/batchxxx

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.

Flying

Every night
I dream
But I always end up dying

I'm not being morbid 
I honestly wish 
I was lying

Long to escape to a place
Like the day before
Do it all again
But in a worse way

What the hell are we living for?
If I'm dreaming just to be awake?

And it's all in your head
Last night
He said
And it's all in your head
Last night
He said

Now I'm all fours
Crawling through corridors
Sheets of metal
And closing plasterboard

I fall through the ceiling to another realm
All eyes on me
There's no escaping now

And I try to scream
No sound's coming out
Life's a horror film
I'm starring in it now
And I know that this is all make believe
But I can't believe 
That I'm making me

And it's all in your head
Last night
He said
And it's all in your head
Last night
He said

Now I try to move
Behind my eyelids
Here in the silence
Beside you
I'm a corpse bride
You are the mountainside
Top of the world now
With a better view

And I try to run
And I try to wake
It's a living hell
No I can't escape
I want to feel your hands
All over me
Then I wake up to
Another dream

And it's all in your head
Last night
He said
And it's all in your head
Last night
He said
And it's all in your head
Last night
He said

I don't know
What's real
Anymore
Don't want to feel
Like I felt before

And it's all in my head
in my head
in my head
And it's all in my head
in my head
in my head
And it's all in your head
in your head
in your head

And it's all in your head
Last night
He said
And it's all in your head
Last night
He said
He said

Dolly Mavies - In Your Head

Our latest release from our forthcoming album Living Books

Heavyweight Champion

Brighton alt/indie duo Elandra steps into a new era with the release of their high-energy single Days, Years & Months, landing 25th September 2025. Marking a confident evolution in their sound, the track amplifies the band’s trademark saturated, punchy drums and Revolver-era bass tones with fuzzier-than-ever guitars, and bold experimentation in vocal distortion reminiscent of Demon Days-era Gorillaz. The result is a vibrant collision of influences — think the shimmering euphoria of Empire of the Sun’s Walking on a Dream meeting the hypnotic build of Tame Impala’s Let It Happen.

Days, Years & Months (Radio Edit)

Wild West

Which would you choose: love or money? Shoebox is a story about being poor in wealth but rich in love. 

Shoebox

Crumb Giver is an empowering dance track for anyone who has been used—romantically or otherwise—who never got to name the dynamic or say what they needed to say. Sonically it blends indie electronic, alternative, and indie dance, with a pulsing ARP synth, sharp lyrics, and empowered alto vocals.

Crumb Giver

Across the period of 2010-2017, these four women left home. Left their sisters, left their parents and the safety net of familiarity. Swapped them for breeze block student halls, red brick labyrinths and beaten-up trainers, no match for Manchester puddles. Did we know when we left home we would not be returning? No. Did you? I know we’re supposed to be adulting now but there’s still a home-shaped hole in all of our hearts.

Porcelain

Over several years of my late twenties, me and one of my male friends secretly were attracted to each other but had to abstain due to some complicated social ties in our group. One year, we caved in and began what was quite a messy fling. I wrote this song throughout those years as a way to process the tangle of anxiety, excitement, anger but also lust that was tangled up in my stomach. After the fallout, I joked that it wasn't mine or his fault for the stupidity of it all, but that it was South East London's; because it is such a romantic place. This is my ode to that area, and the chaos of that time of my life. This is a jazzier route this time with my flatmate Jago on the guitar, and myself on the string section with my one violin.

Falling in love in the SE1

I was remembering
How we ran through each other's dreams
And though all those dreams have long since gone astray
We were kings, kings for a day
Time stretches far out of view
When I think of all that we went through
And though allll our colours faded into grey
We were kings, kings for a day
We bend with the wind, we turn with the tide
We learn to give in, we learn how to hide
Accept all the things we wanted to change
Turn away from the strange
I lapse into reverie
At the thought of what used to be
And I still find time to fantasise and pray
Once again kings for a day
Far away kings for a day
Friday night you should be out on the town
But heavy hangs the head that wears the crown

Pulse (Album Mix)

From the "Inversions" EP.

"From the start I had a dream
That your world was not as distant as it seemed
As my life began again
Was recreating, waiting for the moment when 

Mind set on the climb
I’d pay this price a thousand times

I’m not giving up on you

From the start I had no choice
My future laid out in the pattern of your voice

Not lost, not yet found
As I run my feet barely touch ground

I’m not giving up on you

I tell you you’re wrong about the past
Not all the bright things fade so fast
I see that glow ahead of me

I’m not giving up on you"

Not Giving Up (Wrong About the Past)

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.

Welcome to my Soundcloud Page. I am a songwriter based in St Helens, a town in the Northwest of the UK.
You will find songs in a singer-songwriterly vein, written and recorded by me, taking in a range of musical genres,  alt/indie rock songs recorded by The (Now Legendary) Maybees in the 1990s, some classical sounding music by The Lucem Symphonia, as well as banging EDM/electronic tunes by Casaubon and a few mixes of a collaboration with Bentcousin,. Unknown Unknown is another alias I have used for one release and Firenze Anemones is a new project. Most recently, I have collaborated with Massachusetts composer Betsy Breitborde on The Ghosts of Christmas Past.
Whether it's plainly a demo or a painstakingly mastered recording, I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please leave comments and don't be afraid to get in touch, I am always interested in getting feedback and connecting with other lovers of music. If you want to download anything, many of the finished recordings are available on Bandcamp and an increasing number are on all of the usual digital platforms. If you use other platforms, you can find music from me (and some others) there under the names:
Terry Naylor
