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 22nd November: 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/batch427

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.

London-based 7-piece Cable Street Collective’s latest single, ‘The Wolf’, is an upbeat banger guaranteed “to make you dance your beep off”. 

The track, which features their signature combination of thumping dance rhythms, African-influenced guitars and an addictive chorus, was written during lockdown, with demos flying back and forth over Zoom calls – and an early version of the band playing it “together” appeared online in March 2021, with each member recording their parts from home. 

Despite the knock-on effects of lockdowns on the live music sector, Cable Street Collective road tested The Wolf extensively this summer, playing at Latitude, among others, on a 17-date summer festival tour. The band recently announced a further UK tour for February 2022.


While the music of The Wolf is upbeat, the lyrics deal with darker themes. “It’s about subconsciously seeking out toxic relationships as a means of self-flagellation,” explains singer Fiona Jane. “That absurdity, when you’re most comfortable in relationships that are bad for you, is fascinating.”

This track is a collaboration between The Sighs of Monsters and poet David Chislett. The poem "More Than Blue" appears in his new collection of poetry "With All Of You" and we were tasked with setting it to music, along with other artists who chose other works. The poem references the cultural impact of New Order's "Blue Monday" as it pounded out of the loudspeakers of the clubs in the 1980s, as the author "found his tribe". We've made some cheeky references to it in our musical treatment.

Lyrics:

I dance and twitch in a moment
Eyes fixed on a point
'Blue Monday' in my ears
Nineteen eighty-five
Heart is exploding
Not because of some girl
Something bigger than myself
Something I recognise

Found my tribe in that moment
A place I would call home
Nineteen eighty-five 
would last a long time
But my colours are no longer 
nailed to that mast
They are now my own
Now they are my own

From "With All Of You" by David Chislett

'Running Out (Give It Up)' is the latest single from the band We Three Kings, released 26/11/21.

We Three Kings are a no-nonsense three piece rock’n’roll band from Manchester, UK, with a balls-out sound that blends the blues, fuzz and noise into three minute mini miracles of pure joy.

A quirky Dream Pop track from multi-instrumentalist producer Michael Mormecha.
First single to be taken from the highly anticipated album 'See Sea'.

Kraken (Radio Edit)

This song is about letting go of an abusive relationship. There’s a lot of fear and doubt that comes with separating yourself from somebody who manipulates you, and it leaves behind feelings of anger, as well as guilt and doubt. You end up questioning everything while simultaneously harbouring a lot of resentment for the person who treated you that way. We wanted this song to feel cathartic and unapologetic—it ultimately feels very healing.

‘E Forever’ is the new single by Bristol-based group Digsby.
This is the first single from their 4-track EP, Invisible People, incorporating disparate influences into a cohesive 'odd pop' whole and marking a departure from their sophomore release. 

'E Forever' is a paean to fading memory and a celebration of nostalgia; simultaneously joyous and heart-breaking.
