Duration: 3 min 32 s
Description: Available now on all major streaming services.

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 2nd November: 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/batch384

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.

Sand And Blood (The Desert Trilogy EPs Vol 2)

Land Of The Hummingbird

Dean Owens: Land Of The Hummingbird (Ft Gaby Moreno)

With the constant barrage of noise from 'man made' things, fighting for our attention every waking second, many of us forget the soft call of natures voice.
'Jeanes' songs tell stories of sleeping fields, breathing trees & drunken bees.

Inspired by an article by Ian Macdonald about Nick Drake which said 'sensitive young people often have a horror of being understood for fear of losing their uniqueness, and in the process finding that they are not as unique as they like to think. The vocal was recorded in Catherine Hershey's Parisian home, with wonderful notes of morning bird song coming through the open windows.

Simple Jayne is the first track from the Sleeping Leaves EP.

I once met a girl,
she chose slowly
…what she told me 

we talked for a while,
…she said something
but then nothing,
..lips moved no words came

hides in her thoughts,
what she feels,
can’t be said,
they’re just her thoughts,
shes frightened others feel the same,
then she wont be unique again,
… just simple jayne.

with lapwing she plays
and humms slowly
….for him only … 

whatever she plays
the bird smothers, with feathers
no words can away

hides in wood groves,
with eyes never painted,
fringe grown past nose.
afraid if others hear her words,
her deepest thoughts wont be just hers
shes hiding words

I once met a girl she chose slowly what she told me.

Santa is a punk

Dim byd dan reolaeth - meddwl amdan marwolaeth
Methu mynd i unman - fe hoffwn fod yn grwban
Mynd i mewn i 'nghragen - gwneud dim byd diangen

Nothing under control - thinking about death
Can't go anywhere - I wish I was a tortoise
Get into my shell - do nothing unneeded

Music For Quiet Moments 28 - Time Stands Still

Music For Quiet Moments 28 -Time Stands Still (Udine 24 Jun 2006)

A song that was written during lockdown, from the inside looking out.

The lyrics were inspired by a baby blackbird that was found sick, with a crossed beak, by our vocalist in her garden. She nursed it back to health by feeding it every day for 6 weeks. Our vocalist used to wait by the window during lockdown - the looking glass - and wait for the bird to arrive each morning. 

The song also explores the concept of identity: if you can just believe, you will see your true self in the mirror.

Looking Glass

White Door "Resurrection"

Ava de Bara creates music at the intersection of mysticism and realism, tension and release.

She was created as a way to transcend inner identifiers and freely express, tearing at limitations built by genre, sexuality, locality, the self…

Spacey, genre-less, bold, and with a lot of guts, Ava will take you through compositions that unite the contemporary pop world with crowned jewels from the past – already situating herself in the grand archive. Listen carefully.

“Ava de Bara’s breakout single “Fame” marks the beginning of her musical journey through genre-less time and space. This song sonically represents a complicated relationship that may be inevitable. Its tension and release, built by strings, poolside rhythms, swelling harmonies, and dusty guitars, is the mirage you want to bathe in at the beginning of this new year. Ava has been reborn, and so have you.”
