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 23/10/2024: 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/batch546

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.

Lyrics: 

You’re ahead of me every time
My route’s already mapped out in your mind
Seeing patterns in what I do
Before it happens you anticipate my move

Am I so predictable
Such an open book? 

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
Getting kinda spooky, you looking right through me 
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

I try talking in cryptic clues
Circumlocution just doesn’t work on you
Your intuition won’t let me hide
From your X-ray vision as I try to keep inside 

The soft, the vulnerable 
Undefended heart

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
Getting kinda spooky, you looking right through me 
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

Under the surface
Under my best disguise 
I am uncovered 
There’s no retreat
From the heat of your eyes

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

It’s a Little Creepy...

Weird

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

This has all happened already 
This has all been before
And so we find a justification
So we can believe in ‘this time’ once more

Another touch 
Another hurt
Another enemy
Another dust myself off

Another cross
Another wound
Another memory
Is enough, is enough

Another house 
Another haunt 
Another elegy
Another deep breath out

Another roll
Another cut
Another remedy
Another could’ve done more

For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We will carry on
For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We must carry on

Another rift
Another war
Another destiny
Another direction

Another break
Another block
Another penalty
That’s not all, that’s not all we’ve got

For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We will carry on
For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We must carry on

For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We will carry on
For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We must carry on

i'll wait for you

Instrumental alt-rock song with heavy funk, soul & psychedelic influences.  The drums drive and propel the song forward while the Rhodes organ takes a more tranquil path to give the song it's juxtaposed groove and vibe.  The layered guitars provide the tonality, tension and soundscape that weave in and out of the rhythm and melodies alike.

Den of the Empress

Electropop single featuring the vocal talents of the "Elevator Icons". Available on Bandcamp now and shortly coming to Spotify/Amazon/Apple

"A path I know, leads to a bridge...."

The Bridge

The Bridge (feat. Elevator Icons)

Water water

Squeeze

Amidst the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, The Sleeping Cliffs unleash powerful soundscapes with amplifier feedback and pulsing bass drums. The music is a layered mosaic of fuzz drenched guitars, bombastic percussion, and vintage synths, melodically engineered as a turbine of soulful, rhythmic, electro-rock.  Todd Glidewell, the multi-instrumentalist behind the project, describes himself as “genre-fluid”, drawing from rock, indietronica, funk, soul, psychedelia, post-rock, and alternative. Wearing those diverse influences like a technicolor cape, his tracks consistently showcase a distinctive analog/electronic groove that defines The Sleeping Cliffs’ signature sound.
