[Weekly Mix] 2020.09 (3)

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 September: from around midday 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/batch378

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Reunion EP

Reunion

A song written about our drummer's son when he left home. (He's back now!) See below for the lyrics. 

GOODBYE

Watching 
Over her shoulder
Watching and waving her childhood into her memories 

Goodbye family
Will you miss me?
Will there be a space on the settee where I used to sit or not?

Goodbye, my best friend,
You'll replace me in a week or two, no doubt
Is 'I'll keep in touch' really that honest?
I guess we'll find out

So long, my old house,
Will you feel hungry when I've gone?
Will I ever come back, will I ever look out of my window again?

Take care, the couple next door,
I'm sorry about all the shouting, the banging,
The pictures and photographs that needed rehanging 

Farewell, my old life,
Adolescence, I must get going,
For it's time that this fledgling bird spread her wings and took to the sky 
I guess this is -

Goodbye for a little while
To my childhood house I’ll be coming
For this traveller's life is just not for me
This goodbye is only temporary.

Goodbye

Wake Up Call

'Bullpen' from 'Scrundle', the new EP from Parker Lee. Released independently Sept 4th 2020.

Lyrics:
Watching the bullpen shake its way crosstown
A one inch punch brings in the crowd
Some good intentions could miss their mark again,
If we made up like dying friends

But all my tides could never be
The longest break of a wave at sea
The best damn friends we would ever be

Hearing the corners my friends left out to me
I jig-and-saw the finished piece
Flatline of letters spelling out a need:
"I should go - or you should leave."

But both my eyes could hardly see
The darkest crack of a trench at sea
The best damn friends we would ever be

Keep those hands in front of me
A simple plan and a master key
A knife-like wound and it looks like me
The best damn friends we would ever be

Letra:

Nada vai mudar meu jeito é como é
Tiro no meu pé
Não é tão calma assim
O que tem de ruim?
Só foi mais um fim

Eu aguento se um tentar me acalmar
Fugir pra cá
Sem perceber que não é você
Ligo a tv

Bem, some logo
Bem, limpei com cloro
Bem, como eu demoro
Bem, bem, bem

Bem, não tem saída
Bem, uma desgraça
Bem, tô aqui ainda
Bem, bem, bem

Eu não tenho medo quando venho te falar
Nada vale a pena
Só não vem me visitar

Disfarça a onda cada gesto vem te acusar
Não tem volta mesmo ainda mais se tu forçar

Daniel Tupy - Bem

'To a Place' is the first single lifted from "Starlings & Crows", the stunning new album by English ambient-pop artist Chloë March. The album sees release on the 23rd of October 2020. 

More on Chloe March here: http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/chloe-march/

For her fifth album, March drew inspiration from her early childhood in the Warwickshire countryside, nineteenth-century nature poet John Clare, and Lewis Carroll’s fantastical Alice Through the Looking Glass. Throughout the album there’s a palpable sense of wonder at the natural world, shot through with a deep concern for nature’s vulnerability. Starlings & Crows resonates with notions of home on a macro and micro level. 

First single ‘To a Place’ is an elegant waltz built around swooning strings and piano. ‘Landing 1969’ sounds as astral as its subject matter would suggest, pulsing at the same tempo as Buzz Aldrin’s heart-rate as Apollo 11 left earth. ‘Remember That Sky’ is achingly emotive, showcasing March’s innate talent for creating an atmosphere of intimacy without compromising compositional depth. Despite running to a succinct 38 minutes, Starlings & Crows is lush and expansive, while distilled to its crystalline essence.

“The latest album by Chloe March is another heady trip through electro pop... The air is thick with atmosphere throughout and March is a masterful creator of mood… a beautiful sound somewhere between The Blue Nile and David Sylvian” – The Underground of Happiness

Oft compared to singular artists such as Nina Simone, Beth Gibbons and Elizabeth Fraser, Chloë March follows her own independent path, writing, engineering and producing from her home studio in south-east England. Inhabiting musical territory somewhere between art song and folk, dream-pop and electronica, the ambient and the cinematic, March embraces all these influences to create poetic, emotionally charged and intensely atmospheric songs and soundworlds.

The music of Chloe March is available for licensing (film, tv, web and more) via Hidden Shoal.
