Best New Indie Songs (November 2016)

Any artist is welcome to send us ONE 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 21 Nov from mid-day 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/batch220

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 220

I never knew how much you meant to me
You were the ground I stood on
But oooh I battled for ages
Fought what I thought you were
Suddenly it's clear what I've wasted
I've shut you out and shut you off
Oooooh I ripped out the pages
Cut where I thought it would hurt

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night

I built up an altar to stop you
Stone upon stone in the sand
I laid you down like you were a killer
I stretched out a murderous hand

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night
My darkness and my light

Liverpool singer/songwriter releases his debut album “Trains” in September 2016 
John has released a few singles in the last 18 months including:
Rodeo Girl – Listening to John Jenkins is like sitting in the world’s most comfortable armchair (Getintothis)
The Paris Wife – is a song of true elegance and refined softness – John really knows how to capture a scene (Liverpool Sound and Vision 8.5/10)
-	A very classy song (Folk North West) 
Sweet Delphine – The vocal from Jenkins is something like your favourite winter coat (Musical Outcast) 
-	If ever a song felt like a painting then Sweet Delphine is that track (Liverpool Sound and Vision 9/10)
Her Soldier Boy EP – is a wonderful EP, I loved it from start to finish. John Jenkins has a brilliantly delicate voice that makes every listener insatiable for more. (Out in the Crowd) 

Additionally John is the songwriter for his projects “John Jenkins and that Sure Thing” which features guest singers, plus his instrumental project “Midnight in Manhattan” and wrote the Liverpool Acoustic Collective charity song “Someday we’ll see better days” 

He recently played at the “Folk at the Dock” Festival in August 2016
-	John delighted a packed Anchor Courtyard with his gentle tales and minor key melodies, great acoustic music, sunshine and an enthusiastic audience – it doesn’t get better than this (liverpooletc.com)
“Trains” is an album of 12 personal songs co-produced by Jon Lawton at Crosstown Studios, it features guest musicians such as Amy Chalmers (Two Black Sheep), Helen Maher (Amsterdam) Denis Parkinson, Stephanie Kearley, and Marc Vormawah (Personal Column)
