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 2nd October, 2023: 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/batch503

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.

Lyrics:
You see, in my prefacing background
Prefacing back

And with the lick of a flame you entered my mind,
Like the flickering of Alfred Street
But now it’s red
(Now it’s red)
And we’re all equivalent to the gulls of the night,
The foam rolls- a child in a ball pit
And i’m here and you’re there
And we’re thrown down, deep under so i’ll roll with it
And if you were sat on that box,
Steadfast, the opposite of her waves
I’d be there
I’d
Ankles scuffed, fingertips kissed with cold
Kiss me cold, please unfold

Alfred Street

Outside Looking In

“It’s the kind of tune that actually gives you heartache" Jess Iszatt - BBC Radio 1 

This song came out of a phone call with an ex after we’d split up when I realised for the first time it was really over. It’s about discovering that someone you once knew so well has grown and changed without you. The fact that you can speak to someone every day and then suddenly know nothing about their life seems so strange to me but this song is about accepting that.

First Love

So High

Familiar Faces

Let me seduce you

Honey does this light up the dark for you?

From the Sea Glass EP

Arizona

Nick Di Marzo: Vocals, Guitalele, Acoustic guitar, ebow, percussions

Vocal recordings and editing at Black Cave Recordings studio, Edinburgh
Mixing and Mastering by Rota Carnivora

Lyrics:
Drawing lines in the sand
that i can hardly say
reading faces under the sun
in the hope i can get a pun
while the daemons are here behind me
and I am putting my armour down...

Have i failed your love?
i am doing it all wrong
being the lonesome one
it's lonesome gone

the storm between you and me
blame meteorology
did i just spot a sudden blush?
you know, it's already been forgotten
wishing each other goodnight
and the wine from the south of France 

it's going to carry us on
how about one more glass?
before the night is around us
and the euphoria gone...
it's lonesome gone
into the sundown

every step back i take
no religion to be saved
Is just an own selfish god?
the only one i am aiming for....
Have i ever given my all?

gone
gone

i am doing it all wrong
and you are still giving your all
to the lonesome one
the awkward one
it's lonesome gone 
it's lonesome gone

Lonesome Gone
