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 20th July: 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/batch375

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.

Sayonara

HEROINE - ‘big brooding alt pop/rock for your ex lover to cry to’

“This isn’t a love song, it’s not about falling in love, it’s about lust, it’s about the painful moments when the distance between you feels so far. It’s screaming into the night hoping someone will hear you, it’s the battles as a young girl fighting against your sexuality, it’s full of fear and need” - Martha Phillips songwriting and vocalist. 
One of the first songs written by the band back in 2014, this song is a fan favourite at their live shows. For three years Martha would end every gig with ‘Heroine’ belting out the final note, using every last ounce of energy and passion to close the show on a spine tingling moment. 
This highly anticipated single holds an incredibly special place in the hearts of their fans, the band, their families and wider team. This release is for the day ones. 
“A song of this magnitude needed the right recording settings and it wasn’t until we met Dan Cox (Producer at Urchin Studios) that we knew we had met the right person to capture the raw energy of the live performance”  - Tom Palmer Drummer

Heroine

Oddball

“Having built a career in composing for film and advertising, it was particularly freeing to write without any direction and purpose, letting the music go on its own journey. Having the space to experiment allowed the music to go to some unexpected and wonderful places. Although ‘Handles’ marks a new beginning for me, it’s my lifetime of musical influences, collaborating with old friends, and sound recordings of memories past that helped forge this album.”- Drexler

Drexler is a London based multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer from Sydney, Australia. With a background in classical music coupled with a passion for contemporary sounds, Drexler crafts his music in a modern cinematic style that is raw, earnest and textured.
In November 2019, Drexler released his debut EP, The Confluence, via Sonder House Music. 

The Confluence EP consists of three original solo piano recordings, stripping back the piano to it's most raw and intimate tone. The Confluence is inspired by the poem of the same title, by Luka Lesson. The second track, Orchid Tree, deals with Drexler's heritage and family. It is inspired by the resilience, struggle and sacrifices made by his parents as migrants in Australia as well as the fight and strength of the Hong Kong people protesting for freedom today. When The Night Turned Blue, is a reaction to the previous two tracks, both which deal with darkness, pain and suffering. The EP ends with optimism and positivity that everything will restore itself.

All tracks mixed and mastered by Bobby Williams.
