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 14th July 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/batch578

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.

Something Serious - Single

Written by Hannah Rose Platt & produced by Ed Harcourt - "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a visceral, industrial-infused soundscape that plunges listeners into the fractured psyche of a 19th-century writer and painter, silenced by a patriarchal prescription: the notorious “rest cure.” With searing vocals and mechanical, driving textures, Hannah Rose Platt resurrects the ghost of a woman forbidden to create, condemned to abandon her art, her words, even the solace of books, in a misguided attempt to cure postpartum depression.
This track is a defiant scream against creative repression, a haunting embodiment of psychological unravelling, and a powerful tribute to those who’ve had their voices stolen. Equal parts gothic and galvanizing, "The Yellow Wallpaper" blurs the line between historical horror and timeless truth.

HANNAH SAYS: 
‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ was inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s part memoir part fiction novella - about a woman confined to a room and forbidden to write, paint, or read as part of a so-called ‘rest cure’ for her postpartum depression. As she’s cut off from her creativity and autonomy, she slowly unravels, obsessing over the wallpaper in her room until she begins to lose her grip on reality. I wanted the song to feel sonically uncomfortable and claustrophobic, to reflect that mental confinement and loss of identity. I’d love for people to listen, and I really encourage everyone to read Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s powerful, still-relevant story.” – Hannah Rose Platt
