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 11th November 2024 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/batch549

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.

A Story That You Tell

The track explores themes of mental health, depression, and the silent struggles many people face.

Lyrics ;
"I would never be some great divide
Like the ocean meets the shore
Take a step there could be more
Shadow figures in the flames
The broken piece with all the blame
I fight it all the same

It's always confusing
Sometimes im caught between the cellar and the sky
Perfect singularity


The feast of fear
come claim this tainted heart
Like grasping smoke
I will never see it coming
There's a thought behind those enemy eyes
watching my own demise
I've the lost element of surprise
Ill never see this coming

I need no match to fire
These bridges burn on their own
Consuming all that's grown
These city streets are filled with ghosts
I seek the guide I trust the most
My ever shrinking coast

It's always confusing
Sometimes im caught between the cellar and the sky
perfect singularity

The feast of fear
Come claim this tainted heart
Like grasping smoke
I will never see it coming
There's a thought behind those enemy eyes
Watching my own demise
I've the lost element of surprise
I never see this coming"

Singularity

Earlier this year we got into the studio with the virtuosic Otis Lumumba Tabasenge, Congolese guitarist extraordinaire for Kasai Masai and international superstar Kanda Bongo Man. 

Otis’s playing is nothing short of inspirational, and we loved it so much this track turned into a raucous, joyous five and a half minute ode to the music we love.

Funny Old World is a song for anyone trying to make sense of a loss in their life. Or, equally, anyone struggling to come to terms with events thousands of miles away, that nonetheless affect us all. A song for all those who feel alienated by the partisan politics that seems to have become the global standard.

Because however bleak it sometimes feels, the world keeps turning. And we need messages of joy and positivity more than ever.

Funny Old World feat. Otis Lumumba

"If you’re drawn to the nostalgic sounds of bands like Incubus and Deftones, blended with the modern electronic synth sounds of Nothing But Thieves, then Manchester-based rock band 'What Will Be' should be on your radar. Over the past 12 months that they’ve truly come into their own. With three standout singles, they showcased a shift from an indie rock sound to a heavier, more alternative and anthemic sound. Looking ahead, they’re preparing to release the new single "Singularity" this autumn, followed by their highly anticipated second EP in 2025."
