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 19th June: 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/batch246

*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!)

Falling Elevator

American Radio


time is moving
oh, so fast
creeping up - want the 
night to last

these dreams are wrestling
with our hands
gather strength for the
will to grasp

slow it way down
slow it way down

through the static
the  - voice it cracks
move the dial
try to - bring it back

there’s only one fix for
this deliverance

slow it way down
slow it way down

Give me something now - 
something I don’t know

Give me something now - 
let me feel the pull

I’m driving out so I can hear this
American radio

all the airwaves
in this dusty stretch
are filled with preachers
their raids and rants

we are just like children
in this land
just like children
not yet to stand

slow it way down
slow it way down

Give me something now - 
something I don’t know

Give me something now - 
let me feel the pull

I’m driving out so I can hear this
American radio

(harmonica)

Give me something now - 
something I don’t know

Give me something now - 
let me feel the pull

I’m driving out so I can hear this
American radio

Tectonics (Original)

Heartbreaker

'Shadows x Void'  is a continuation of audible diary entries from yours truly' Otis Mensah; a stream of consciousness & poem assisted with flow, an open letter regarding social-norms, relationships, feelings of emptiness and searches for fulfilment, however refuting social expectations as a living-standard by which to match up to. This is the first in a series of coming collaborative singles accompanied by the incredible music producer elijah bane. "And we just keep normalising abnormality, in the name of social-norms, as if majority and popular opinion equated to truth but I won't keep feeding an emptiness that's never full." https://otismensah.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-x-void
Lyrics written & performed by: Otis Mensah
Instrumental music by: elijah bane

Boring

I'm in the band, cause I like hanging around
I'm really good, at just hanging around....
