Name: Beautiful by The Shops in Full Inbox: Batch 587
Duration: 4 min 34 s
Description: Listen and Follow The Shops here; https://linktr.ee/wearetheshops

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 27th October 2025: 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/batch587

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

Beautiful

Self recorded, mixed and mastered in a bedroom in Manchester.
Words inspired by and adapted from John Fante’s 1939 novel “Ask The Dust”. It’s one of my favourite novels…I highly recommend it.

ASK THE DUST

I see the truth in your walk and you ain’t fooling anyone
It’s just a compromise just for everyone
Sweet vomit underneath the dashboard
I see the look in your eyes and you suffer for everyone
Entertain me with your bitter Sundays
Injured merit and a bottle of joy

Bold lover in the city of desire
Dusty and savage
Go ask the dust
If you can’t work it out yet
Oranges and bad shoes
Working out your revelations
Go ask the dust
And go out to die in the sun

Look at the stars, don’t you think they’re smellin’ good tonight?
An inferno of your own creation
Neon tubes, seedy fog and dancehalls
Got given a sweet tongue but can’t talk right now
Fearless in a world of wonder
Nights drunk on whiskey and grief

She came on wings of perfume
Love on a budget
Living is hard enough
So dying must be worse
My heart is full of black ink
Written too quickly
And I’m out of words
So I guess I’ll just ask the dust

Ask The Dust

Deep Dark Blue is a love letter to Lisbon and the lyrics are inspired by Lord Byron's poem "Childe Harold." It centres around the idea of nature enduring all, sometimes even human connection, and acts as a backdrop for Carson's delicate ability to balance instrumentation creating a lavish sonic tapestry that ebbs and flows like the Tagus on a pebble strewn Lisbon beach.



This track features vocals and lyrics by Portuguese aritst Daniela Galhoz



Deep Dark Blue is a stand alone single and will be released on all streaming platforms (except Spotify, because Daniel Ek shouldn't be taking all our money and investing it in AI bombs) on November 4th.



Live tour dates to support the release:



21/11/25 - Norwich - The Holloway

22/11/25 - London - The Finsbury

Deep Dark Blue

Produced by Leg Puppy 2.0
Remixed and mixed by DP34
Mastered by Paris Alexander

Bobby Clickbait (DP34 Remix)

VORACIOUS (having a huge appetite)

You want me
Come and get it
Bloodsucker go fuck
I hear that all the time
u gotta be out of ur mind
Hey have u said ur goodbyes 
‘Cause well tonight 
ur not gonna survive

Of The Earth

Voracious

Prints is all about the thing we leave behind and what will you leave behind after your time is
done.

As the world becomes more and more difficult, so the more I retreat into music.

Track list below, and hopefully the artists will tag their own tracks in the waveform.

                                                 -------

I hadn't planned to make this a regular online affair, but my live shows are slightly held up whilst the perfect website is being conjured from mouse clicks and imagination.

Something of an autumnal feel in this latest instalment of my Eclectic Mix project, and certainly a little darker than the Volume 1 demo. I've made an effort to include artists who didn't feature heavily in the first recording, and I will continue to do that to the best of my abilities whilst maintaining some coherence. It's not perfect, but that makes it all the more human.

Please reach out to the artists if you enjoy their music, and to me if you don't.

I recorded this before my Eclectech mix, and I realise there is some overlap but they are very much two different things.

Volume 3 will come in the Fresh on the Net Christmas break.

In Jimmy Andrex we trust,

Recorded the first hour of my 4hr set at Blueprint on Sunday, and here it is. 

Sometimes I let kids play with the decks, so I can't rule out mad hands happening in this mix somewhere...

 Mostly chilled Sunday lunch sounds.
