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 March: 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/batch441

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.

Stranger In The Mirror

Hey Mr. DJ

So feel the flat line
Face down in the time it took to fly
And speak a sure sound
Lining all your words with sugared ice

Well you live and you learn with
Every painful twist and  
Wasted turn

There’s no rhyme between the 
Time it takes to fly
And the time it takes to 
Clamber back to life

So feel the flat line
Smooth and steady
Nothing left to climb 
And change as you choose
If there’s something on your mind

After all this time...

Like a fever it hits
With a cold red mist
Bent bitter in the night
Caught up in a lie
Blood-shot
Hung up
On a said so
When you’re better off

No rhyme between the 
Time it takes to fly
And the time it takes to 
Clamber back to life

So feel the flat line
Set fire now the gale has blown behind
And sparks in your eyes
Shining with the tears you’d pushed aside

Oh, you live and you learn
With every painful twist
And wasted turn

Like a fever it hits
With cold red mist
Bent bitter in the night
Caught up in a lie
Blood-shot
Holding onto a said so
When you’re better off

We are pleased to share the shoegaze track ‘June’ from indie band The Day via Sinnbus today. ‘June’ talks about friendship and how people drift apart when time and space get in the way of a good thing sometimes. Hazy and dreamy vocals cascade this track along with spaced out guitar notes.

I Confess

Dream + Lie

Slow Progress Hill

“Seraphine” unfolds like a half-remembered dream—intimate 
vocals dissolving into reverb-soaked guitars, strings, and shadows. 
Nightsorrow carries the listener through a tide of beauty and disquiet, 
where melodies shimmer and then fracture, leaving only echoes in their wake. 
It is both fragile and immense, a song that lingers at the edge of memory, 
refusing to fade.

Written and performed by Sharon Lazibyrd, recorded live in my kitchen with a violin overdub. A song with non English words, a task I set for Sunday Songwriting. Commentary on where we are today. When I see the world, I think, what is this? 

In our world what's going on
Tear gas on the streets
Leaders who are lying to us
Intimidation feats

Quand je vue le monde
Quand je vue le monde
Je pense
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

What will be the new normal
Is this pride before a fall
Are we driven to test our sight
To find out what's wrong from right

In our world what's going wrong
Fake news and trite tweets
Crisis and mismanagement
Nationalism heats

What will be our rally call
Are our eyes right off the ball
Can we unite what us divides
Stem the fears we keep inside

Quand je vue le monde
Quand je vue le monde
Je pense
Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Quand Je Vue Le Monde
