WL//WH - NOVEMBER 2022 // Shoegaze /Dream Pop /Psychedelic /Indie Pop

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 21st 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/batch468

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.

Escape Plan EP

Escape Plan

If You Only Feel It Once

I Could Be Your Safe Place

Velodrome

All songs written, recorded and mixed by Phantom Handshakes at their respective homes in Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Orleans.
Mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering

Wild Strawberries

Adding subtle but relentless synths and ever more woozy guitars to their anxiously energetic punk sound, the new single is a danceable, nostalgia-tinged three and half minute banger about the joys of getting sweaty in a club.

Lyrics:

Fire escape vapour
Tommy Girl and sweat and hairspray
Stomach is pulsing
It’s a disco convulsion

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spin in the dry ice

Pull on your good jeans
You are the queen of the freak scene
Chips on the night bus
Sick on your new shoes but what a buzz

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spin in the dry ice

disco convulsion
disco convulsion
disco convulsion
disco convulsion

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spinning spinning spinning in the dry ice

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spin in the dry ice

“What You Want” is a fun and introspective dive into some trip hop and hip hop ideas I wanted to explore. In working with Who Is Raphael Leraux, I found that his verses added even more depth and cohesion to the themes of the song. We’re talking about how often it is that we lose sight of the basics of life - home, family, friends, health - and instead focus on our wants and desires. Our producer, Ross Ingram, really helped us to fuse my soulful shoegaze/dreampop style with Who Is Raphael Leraux’s modern hip hop and pop sensibilities.

What You Want (feat. Who Is Raphael Leraux)

Rome, with love feat. AKS, Leah & Yelfris Valdés

I can’t stand my self 
I’ve lost purity 
I felt heaven once 
Death by ecstasy 
let me live 
Without this 
Worthlessness 
Helplessness
A dark oppressive presence 
Eats me alive bit by bit

I sink into your soul 
Fall into me 
The pain will never go 
Even if your with me 

Drown me in your pain  
Carve into my skin 
And I’ll carve in yours 
Then we’ll both be linked 
Liberate my soul 
Make me feel again 
We’re chasing dragons 
We’ve both sealed our fate 

I sink into your soul 
Fall into me 
The pain will never go 
Even if your with me

Sink Into Your Soul
