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 12th September: 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/batch458

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.

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I'M A TRAINED ORATOR
A SKILLED MANIPULATOR
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WANT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
I SEE THEM SCRAPING ON THEIR KNEES
THEY RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WORK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I’M A PUBLIC SPEAKER
FORGIVE MY MISDEMEANOURS
MY MASCULINITY - A CRUTCH FOR MEDIOCRITY 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO BEG FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
SO DON’T LISTEN TO RUMOUR
(WELL DRESSED LIKE THAT WOULD YOU BELIEVE HER?)
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO REPENT FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I HAVE ALL THE DATA
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
I HAVE FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH PLACES
THAT MY PRIVILEGE ERASED IT
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ANSWER FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

I CAN RADIATE IT
I WON’T RECIPROCATE IT
I WILL ASK OF YOU THE THINGS I’LL NEVER EVER EVER DO
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I'M A SKILLED ORATOR
A TRAINED MANIPULATOR
I SEE THEM FALLING AT MY FEET
THE MAN THE WOMEN WANT TO MEET
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ASK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
I SEE YOU SCRAPING ON YOUR KNEES
YOU RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

Intruder Alert

Chris Stein Mixed, Mikey J on Cello, Mastered by bkbirge. Thanks everyone. Releases Oct 21 2022 on all streams.

Take Back (Unplugged)

Limbo

Taken from the 'Click Click Drone' mini-album: 22 minutes of retro electropop for the price of a city-centre pint.

https://adamleonard.bandcamp.com/album/click-click-drone 

This release comprises the original 3-track 'Click Click Drone' EP from 2013 plus 3 bonus tracks. This collection is heavily influenced by John Foxx's seminal electronic album 'Metamatic' made in 1979.

Echoes In Rows are Adam Leonard (words, top lines, vocals) & David Ansara (melodies, machines, additional vox on 'Tsunami'). Songs written by Leonard/Ansara except ‘The Implausible Man’ written by Leonard.

Echoes In Rows - 'Zone Zone'

Adam Leonard has quietly – and noisily – tinkered at the edges of eccentric English folk, electronic music, and garage Artrock with Invaderband, issuing numerous albums, singles and EPs of original music to much critical acclaim via highly regarded boutique labels such as The Great Pop Supplement, Northwestern Recordings, Tectona Grandis, Polytechnic Youth, Castles In Space, Bibliotapes and The Dark Outside on formats including 7” vinyl, 10” vinyl, 12” vinyl, cassette & compact disc.

Despite maintaining a low profile, the debut Invaderband album was shortlisted for the 2017 Northern Ireland Music Prize Album of the Year alongside The Divine Comedy, Hanna Peel etc, and has garnered praise from BBC Radio 6Music’s Steve Lamacq and Gideon Coe with repeat plays on their national radio shows. In 2021 a second Invaderband album ‘Peter Gabriel’ was released and in 2022 Leonard’s electronic side project A Farewell To Hexes released the ‘Rendlesham’ album which was featured on The Quietus.
