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 13th 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/batch374

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.

Violent Vickie - Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash)

Well,

Catfish Burial

They told me to dream big
So I dreamt of the sun
And its gravitational pull
its gravitational pull
And all the life it breathes into everything
And its gravitational pull

How can I ensure when I am fully grown
That the Milky Way will make room 
So that I can ever-glow?

How can I be centre of this universe 
(I know I know)
How can I be anything but disappointed?

(I can't match up, I can't match up, to any of my own...)

And now it's reached the stage
Where I am jealous of birds
and their levitational art
and their levitational art
And how their lightest hearts
Can help them reach the stars
and their levitational artistry

How can I ensure when I am dead and gone
That my legacy endures
My reputation twinkles on?
How, when I explode, can I shoot eight million eons?
Then how can I get further still?

(and yeah, I think I was about 16 when I learnt about the greeks and mythology and how they could talk mostly deeply about what it means to be a human being... and I learnt about Icarus and all of those events before his fall.... and I wondered... and I kept wondering.... and I kept wondering... how he must've felt in those few minutes just before he melted... to be the highest one... to be the highest one... to be the closest one...)

Icarus

From the new album 'Seven for A Secret' out 01/01/20 in all digital stores. The first track on the album, it sets the scene for what's to come. The album tells the tale of two murders from the perspectives of the people involved. Produced by Gavin Monaghan (The Blinders, The C33's, Pagans SOH)and recorded at Magic Garden Studio, Wolverhampton. The album started life as a rough screen play which spawned a song and grew into a full album. Next stop is a graphic novel and/or video clip if funds allow.

Fire On At Me - T.E.G


“I’m on my way home, I want to get back,
I know it feels good, and I don’t wanna leave”

Fire on at me if you don’t have more to say
Come and get it cos you’ve got nothing to stay
You and I both know that it don’t work this way
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
We both got reasons but these reasons aren’t enough
It’s my vendetta and yours, you just had it rough
But things are changing and though I know it’s tough
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Here we are -  away from home
I close my eyes I visualise 
I wanna go home
Not on your own - but fighting solo
The end is near, I feel the fear
I wanna go home

We take our prisoners who just want their release
They say they’re sorry but we’re not easy to please
Their freedom’s ours and we’ll sort ‘em out with ease
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
Any action will so make you pay the price
So no decision is without sacrifice
Just ‘cos I pity doesn’t mean I am nice
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Feel these tears, they’re filled with rage
Fell off my horse I’ve got back up
I wanna go home
Don’t pretend, that your not scared
This war right here’s been on years
I wanna go home

Don’t think you can stop me
I am trying and succeeding 
You cannot see me I’m invincible
And I stop stop wanna come home

Fire On At Me

Lyrics

V1
paint me in colours that you want to see
I'll be the person that you wanted to know before you met me
and I'll hold your hand until my blood runs blue
I'll be the person that you wanted to know, the girl you once knew

Pre Chorus
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I'm just a little stuck on you

Chorus 
oh I'd mould my brain to fit with yours
and I'd sing this song until my lungs are sore
oh I'm sorry if you're bored of questions 
and second guessing
oh I'm hopelessly asking for more
cause I'm not sure I love you really means that much at all

V2
tell, tell me something is on your mind 
cause I can't talk for the two of us and I know something isn't quite right
and is this how I'm meant to spend my time
oh staring into dead eyes wondering if I cross your mind

Pre Chorus
oooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I guess I gave it all for you

Chorus

Outro
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I just can't give it all for you

The 12 new songs on “When the Dust Just Won’t Settle” reinforce Captain Wilberforce’s growing reputation for strong melodic hooks, cascading harmonies and finely honed lyrics: these are songs born of   determined self-belief and a relaxed confidence in the songwriter’s craft.

Water (Master) - Matilda Eyre X PALMR

All the headlines i’m reading
Are contradicting
For once in our lives we’re seeing
A second of peace

But it’s a moment
Out of control that I fear
Life’s in postponement
I’m out of focus
It’s unclear

Something’s changing
Yeah its changing I can feel
Something changing   
It’ll never 
Be the same

Take another lonely walk down the seaside
Keep in to yourself if people come by
Or stay inside to be kind

Reach out to someone 
You’ve never even met
Tell them that you miss them
Or you might just regret it
You’ll know that if the lights go out 
And the night didn’t come
It’s over

Something’s changing
Yeah its changing I can feel
Something changing   
It’ll never 
Be the same
And I wanna leave

Whatever happened to, 
All of the beauty in the mess?
What is it coming to
When all of our hope has all been spent?
Now I’m feeling overcome
Outrun and done
Say you’ll put me back together
Now I’m feeling overwhelmed
Carrying myself
Will nobody help?

Something’s changing
Yeah its changing I can feel
Something changing   
It’ll never 
Be the same
And I wanna leave
And I wanna leave
And I wanna leave

CALM - Something's Changing

Ode To A Nuisance

Cruise

Eckhardt And The House is uptempo and danceable indie music with elements from pop to avant-garde to disco-funk, all twisted up into a signature sound with wild experimentation and disregard for the norm.

With new single We're All Wood the band has taken a bit of an unusual route with a slower approach, to create a sweeping, conjuring and cinematic groove that unfolds into a slow ritual dance.

As Eckhardt and The House himself describes it:
"The lyrics are inspired by the tale of Moby Dick: the image of the whaling ship Pequod at sea, with captain Ahab waiting for revenge on the white sperm whale. Even though he knows it probably is going to end badly.
Musically it is a kind of gospel hymn on minimal soul that is based on a sturdy double bass (similar to 90s alternative band Soul Couching), bare jungle percussion with plate reverb (not unlike French singer Brigitte Fontaine's single 'Comme à la Radio') adjoined with Brian Eno and David Byrne playing around purring, hypnotic synth arpeggios and guitars ('My Life in The Bush of Ghosts'). One could also hear whiffs of Nina Simone in it…but I am very curious what the listener hears in my new single!"

Lyrics:
Well...
The fox is out
Sweaty palms
And it’s a chilly night

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
Sweaty palms in the twilight

Now mama knows
You’ll come right back home
Careful not to fall in
I gotta have it
Gotta talk to you
Comes blessing
Comes the sin

I tell you all the street lights flashing X 4
I tell you all the street lights flashing X 2
Exit only
(I like that beat you know what I mean)

It’s a chilly night put your gloves on
Wear your best coat still have months to go
Shady moon cast the glass
In dusty glow
If your bag is empty don’t bother coming home 
Get your bag ready all your list checked
Goosebumps every time you have to go back
Remembering all the grumbling and stomach aches 
None of that for the kids don’t mind the quack
Quick quack quick quack there goes the geese
It’s a chilly night put your gloves on
(Shady moon cast dusty glow
And right before the morning)

Now mama knows
You’ll come right back home
Careful not to fall in
And now the fox is out
Gotta talk to you
Come blessing
Comes the sin

I tell you all the street lights flashing X 3
I tell you all the street lights

I tell you all the street lights flashing
I tell you all the streets, I tell you all the street X 2

I tell you all the street lights flashing X 2
Exit only.

Projections - There's No End (Jean Tonique Remix)

At the dawn and at the dusk
Better hurry, get yourself to shelter
Looking out for big white tusks
Around every hideaway

Massive monsters have arrived
Said our society should be demolished
Gotta go now to survive
Can't delay

We're struggling through accepting what's true
Our end being death by walrus
And since the intrusion of this delusion
Everything has turned to dust

I'd like to leave on a shooting star
Hop on and wonder what went wrong
And I'd like to dance on the sands of Mars
Because now I know that I don't belong

I'd like to leave on a shooting star
Hop on and wonder what went wrong
And I'd like to dance on the sands of Mars
Because now I know that I don't belong
Don't belong

Once the day begins to break
It is time to find a new oasis
Never making a mistake
Or else you can say goodbye

Wish my family was here
It's so lonely when you keep on running
Every choice is soaked in fear
I wonder why

I'd like to leave on a shooting star
Hop on and wonder what went wrong
And I'd like to dance on the sands of Mars
Because now I know that I don't belong

I'd like to leave on a shooting star
Hop on and wonder what went wrong
And I'd like to dance on the sands of Mars
Because now I know that I don't belong
Don't belong

We're thinking it through since out of the blue
A beautiful end has called us
And in the confusion on my seclusion
Everything has turned to dust

We're struggling through accepting what's true
Our end being death by walrus
And since the intrusion of this delusion
Everything has turned to dust

I'd like to leave on a shooting star
Hop on and wonder what went wrong
And I'd like to dance on the sands of Mars
Because now I know that I don't belong

I'd like to leave on a shooting star
Hop on and wonder what went wrong
And I'd like to dance on the sands of Mars
Because now I know that I don't belong
Don't belong
Don't belong
Don't belong
