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 7th Nov: 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/batch466

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.

lyrics

I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money man
X2

Leave me alone
I’ve had enough of everything today
They think that money will be my way
Who cares about the time on your watch
I know your life’s thrown away
Thats what I’ll say

They need you to think straight
While they pretend that we’re teammates
They like it when I’m sad
Lose all the dreams that I had
When you try to
Make me like them 
I never wanna be like you

I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money man
X2

I never wanna be like you
I know I’ll never be like you
I can just keep the blues that you put me through
With your roaring lies and your moody eyes
Just downsize
What I know now
You’re far too big for your own house
Why?

They need you to think straight
While they pretend that we’re teammates
They like it when I’m sad
Lose all the dreams that I had
When you try to
Make me like them 
I never wanna be like you

I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money man
X4

I cannot change
You don’t listen anyway
You’re not to blame
They have brought you up this way
It’s in your eyes
They’re living in your mind
Why?

They need you to think straight
While they pretend that we’re teammates
They like it when I’m sad
Lose all the dreams that I had
When you try to
Make me like them 
I never wanna be like you

I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money
Yeah I might get money man

"Disappear" by Palma Louca

Palma Louca: www.facebook.com/PalmaLoucaMusic

Lyrics:
Thrones, were always made for the chosen,
The kid was born to be golden, now, his heart's made of stone. 
Homes, were never made to be broken,
It's not the life he was hoping for, he's never felt so alone.

And he's building a wall now, of insecurities, he's not the sweet kid that he used to be, he doesn't care anymore.
And he's taking it all now, it helps him with his poetry, spending his days in a woken sleep, he paints his words on the floor.

When it feels likes, there's no meaning, he takes a second to remind himself that he's still got you. 
It's a steel spike, then it feels like, it's all going to disappear. 

There's nothing left that he owns, 
His pockets are empty, he used to think he'd be wealthy now, but he couldn't have known. 
That'd he'd taken it all, now,
He needs it more than food to eat, he needs it every night so he can sleep, he makes his bed on the floor. 

When it feels likes, there's no meaning, he takes a second to remind himself that he's still got you. 
It's a steel spike, then it feels like, it's all going to disappear. 

If it don't make a dollar then it don't make sense,
Live by the mantra 'til you've got no friends,
Live by the mantra 'til you're almost dead,
Live by the mantra 'til it all turns red.

And it seems like he's trying not to lose his mind, now, it feels like he's dying, he just needs a sign in here.

If it don't take you higher then it don't make sense,
Live by the mantra 'til you've got no friends,
Live by the mantra 'til you're almost dead,
Live by the mantra 'til it all turns red.

Now he's feeling so tired that he lying down and he needs peace and quiet so don't make a sound in here.

Lyrics:

Jape won’t get you far
We’ll forget just who we are
If we don’t fall

I’ll pause but I won’t speak
Because if I do
There will be nothing left to keep

I would have loved you
I would have loved you more than that

Defeat will be my start
Nothing is lost
And you can rip my heart apart

I’ll stay and you can go
And we can waste
Our lives as if we didn’t know

that I would have loved you
I would have loved you more than that

You scream watch out
But I want blood

You scream watch out
But I want blood

Call to Love

I Want Blood

Lyrics:

A picture of Madonna gazing down at her little boy
Even when I was sixteen I knew it was the only thing that would bring me joy
Now the world is hurtling towards some fiery end
I couldn't bear to see my little girl cry so I bury it in a haze of cigarettes

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

Two step beat and I'm fine again
Know how to trick my mind with a little foresight
Heart only breaks every now and then
I know I'll be alright if I dance until I die
It's sustainable in a city like Berlin
Where everyone pretends they're 25
(and the nights keep us alive)
Two steps back I die again
Her face creeps back behind my eyes

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

PRESS RELEASE
=============
With its washes of synths strings, tinkering electronic piano, detached vocals and layered harmonies delivered in Cromwell’s lush baritone, ‘The Winter Palace’ evokes an icy cold soundscape fit for the months of winter. Where the title track of his recent album ‘Memory Box’ is about losing the power of recall, ‘The Winter Palace’ is about trying to forget a lost love, but being haunted by them in his memory. Cromwell sings to his former love “I dream of you regardless, whether I am asleep or awake”.

With a majestic sweeping synth solo, that wouldn’t sound out of place on Bowie’s ‘Low’, sonically the song sits between classic new wave artists like Joy Division or OMD and more contemporary acts like Ladytron or Black Marble.

The B-side ‘Rod, Jane and Freddy,’ with its squelchy vintage synths and rumbling krautrock beat, is a playful technicoloured instrumental named after the performance group from 1980’s ITV children’s show Rainbow. 

‘The Winter Palace’ was recorded in Cromwell’s home studio in Catford, South London and was produced in Brooklyn, New York at ACME Hall Studio by Rich Bennett.

Since the release of his debut 'Age of Anxiety' album, Rodney Cromwell has been featured by the likes of NME, Electronic Sound, Huffington Post, Paste, Shindig!, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage. He’s had national radio play in Japan, Finland, Germany and multiple spins on RTE in Ireland, on BBC 6 Music in the UK and RNE3 in Spain for whom he recorded a live session.

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating analogue synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s 'offbeat wit'' (NME). His debut festival appearance at Indietracks was described as 'like a spiritual experience". He has shared stages with acts including A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, Rowetta, M!R!M and Steve Davis. His sole performance in 2020 was as part of Damo Suzuki's backing band. In 2022 he recorded a live session for Electronic Sound and in autumn 2022 he is playing a number of dates supporting Blancmange.

RODNEY  CROMWELL The Winter Palace (Radio Edit)

Alta Falls reveal their straight-up electro-pop single ‘I’m At A Loss’. It’s a shimmery, upbeat track that comes in waves, peaking and crashing at just the right moments.

“The words, “I’m at a loss” came to me out of the blue while Matt was showing me a new song idea he had been playing around with,” explains lead singer, Nathanael. “The phrase intrigued me, so I reached out to our followers on Discord, and asked them what ‘I’m at a loss’ means to them. Their answers formed the inspiration for the lyrics of the song.”

I'm At A Loss

Bells is an exhilarating, haunting yet very catchy rocksong about somebody who wants to escape from the voices in his head.
