4:36

on this show,

4:38

Amber Beresford, better

4:40

known to the

4:42

world of music

4:45

as Rainbow Frog

4:47

Biscuits. Amber Beresford-She's

4:49

an angel, and

4:52

I'm nothing special. She's

4:54

in the penthouse, and

4:57

I'm at ground level. Too

4:59

low to be a loser while

5:01

she gets all the flowers. I'm

5:05

a minute, and she's

5:07

twenty four hours. I'm

5:10

too small for her to see,

5:12

but in my mind we work

5:14

perfectly. Oh won't you kindly look

5:17

my way? You

5:19

really must believe me

5:22

when I say, I

5:25

never really believed in the

5:27

idea of soul mates

5:30

till today. And

5:33

clearly I was stupid yesterday.

5:48

She's a forest, and

5:50

I'm just a mushroom. I

5:53

smell like nothing, and she

5:55

fills corridors with perfume. She's

5:58

a sin. I can't be

6:00

found She

6:03

is my one So understand

6:08

I'm too small for her to see But

6:11

I will die of some of this

6:13

pain Lord, you hold me

6:16

My will She

6:18

will not believe me I

6:21

see I never

6:24

believe She's my one And I

6:26

hear a story I

6:29

was born We

6:33

are secret yesterday But

6:35

if you beat me off sometimes My

6:37

love would be replaced If

6:40

you picked up a just-out glance So

6:42

that our eyes would just connect For

6:46

a second, or a minute Or

6:48

a day, or just a moment

6:51

And your love could hear me say Won't

6:54

you kindly look my

6:57

way You

6:59

really must believe me When

7:01

I say I

7:04

never really believe In the

7:06

eye and the air I'll show you I'll

7:10

show you I'll

7:25

show you I'll show

7:27

you Lay

7:31

7:33

7:35

7:37

7:51

7:58

8:02

8:04

8:06

8:11

8:17

10:22

10:30

Stay away from God. By

11:00

the end of the night, slow

11:02

11:11

13:35

I'll go the other way. Robert

14:20

Manning began his Banned Spectra

14:22

project as a therapeutic endeavour,

14:24

he says, to combat a

14:26

decline in my health, resulting

14:28

from multiple sclerosis. Featuring

14:31

guest vocals by Jade Cook of

14:33

City Parking and a welcome

14:35

dollop of 70s motoric can vibes,

14:37

it starts again, it's his first

14:39

release of 2024 and

14:42

was sent our way by Melita

14:44

Dennett at introducing Insusix and Sury.

14:47

Before that, courtesy of DJ Roche

14:50

in Manchester, we heard Lay

14:52

Lo, a life-affirming new single

14:54

from Bolton rapper Superlative, a

14:57

celebration of patience, positivity

15:00

and unwavering commitment. And

15:03

the first in that run of

15:05

tracks was the tender and understated

15:07

Stupid Yesterday by Rainbow Frog Biscuits.

15:10

It was sent our way by Dean

15:12

Jackson in the East Midlands, as was

15:14

this new stonker from The Public Eye.

24:21

And then dreamy in an entirely

24:23

different way. The spoken word stream

I love the sound of the rain.

31:56

I'm going to sit upside down first for my

31:58

quenches. I never have to

32:00

do for the government, do you? I'm

32:03

currently grateful and briefly eternal because

32:06

I know why I made it in the local. I...

32:17

Do I should just...

33:34

That's Fruit by Banbury

33:36

rapper artist, producer and

33:38

eco-warrior Empress Linoleum. And

33:41

her unique artist name makes it

33:43

fantastically easy to search out her

33:45

music online, and us grumpy old

33:48

radio types can only wish that

33:50

more musicians would follow her example.

33:53

It was forwarded from Introducing in Oxford

33:55

and Berkshire by Chris Wood. Before

33:58

that, Sitting Bourns is... indoor pets

34:00

waxing wrath about our capital

34:03

city, dying by the

34:05

living wage, trying to repress my

34:07

rage, London is the place I

34:09

love, the place I love to

34:11

hate. A follow-up album

34:13

to their 2019 debut Be

34:15

Content is expected this year and

34:18

London Loves to Hate was sent

34:20

our way by Abby McCarthy at

34:22

BBC Kent. And

34:24

before that, Never Ever Ever,

34:27

featuring Shiv by Girls of

34:29

the Internet. Their

34:31

list of cultural influences

34:33

includes RuPaul's Drag Race,

34:35

Whitney Houston, Daft Punk,

34:37

Lee Bowery, Spike Jonze,

34:39

Chaka Khan, Stereolab and

34:41

Charlie Kaufman. Lindsay

34:44

Gillies, who produces BBC Introducing in

34:46

Scotland, sent us a couple of

34:49

tracks this week starting with a

34:51

folk song from north-eastern Iran performed

34:53

by The Other. I

36:30

know, I know, I know I

37:01

know I

37:06

know I

37:10

37:13

37:31

37:45

37:53

37:57

Know. Oh.

39:14

I. see

40:06

Do you feel older in

40:09

you seeking? How

40:17

you are moving, how

40:19

you are moving? Do

40:27

you feel this? I

40:30

know you're there Until

40:36

now When

40:40

you fight me

40:44

I can see it And

40:46

all that you hold Will

40:56

you fight

40:58

with me

41:01

tonight? All

41:07

tonight All

41:15

tonight

41:19

All

41:22

tonight All

41:27

tonight All

41:38

night All

41:42

night All

41:47

night I

41:52

wave by my window Waiting

41:55

on your eye I

42:00

was in such a distance and

42:03

in resistance it made me bring for you

42:07

So I lay on my doorstep, waiting

42:12

for your home moon Her

42:16

blood array pulls my legs, finally

42:18

leaving my heavy head and getting

42:20

thin So

42:24

I lay in the garden, waiting

42:28

on your sunshine For

42:32

when we were me I would be

42:35

so green and free of my own

42:37

self-esteem I

42:40

will be for you I

42:48

will be for you I

42:53

will be for you

42:56

I will be for you Waiting

43:00

on your eyes Even

43:05

like a bear I don't think you're really

43:07

there Why are you deceiving

43:09

me now? So

43:12

I will be in the bakery I

43:16

will be for you Put

43:20

me in the fridge today tomorrow on

43:23

a baking tray and sell me in

43:25

the window So

43:28

I lay in the car farm Made

43:33

in the trolley pan Even

43:37

in the kitchen tray I will be

43:39

for you I will be for

43:41

you I

43:45

will be for you I

43:49

will be for you

44:00

So I'll

44:04

go to the hospital. Three

45:24

tracks back to back. First

45:27

we heard Sagodar, S-E-G-O-D-A-R, by

45:29

The Other, a

45:31

collaboration between Scottish-born musicians and

45:33

those with a lived experience

45:35

of displacement and immigration. In

45:38

this case, singer Arif Gourbani was

45:40

also playing the traditional Persian lute

45:43

known as a satar. Then

45:46

came the deep, rich, immersive sound

45:48

of Tonight by Evie Friesen from

45:51

Just Outside Ipswich. Her

45:53

music has been supported on BBC Introducing,

45:55

first by Jake Peach and now

45:57

by Matt Plum at Introducing in

45:59

Essex. and Cambridges who sent us

46:01

the track. And

46:03

Lindsay's second tip from Scotland was

46:06

the deeply atmospheric track we just

46:08

heard, The Arrow. It's

46:11

by a Livingston outfit called

46:13

the Tropicarnas, ironically named they

46:15

tell us, in deference to

46:17

West Lothian's often gloomy weather

46:19

and the band's own longing

46:21

for warmer climates and surfier

46:23

times. Next

46:26

it's Saturday night and I don't

46:28

want to go out again, because

46:30

it's cold outside and my mum

46:32

made cauliflower cheese. Friday

46:34

night and

46:36

I don't want to go out again I

46:42

wish I was somewhere with

46:44

my friends This

46:48

morning makes me want something I'm

46:51

gonna say to them I

46:55

got a scrape on my legs from the last

46:58

time I talked to them and

47:02

I'm still can't slide in a

47:04

fight at home These

47:11

walls every single

47:14

day I

47:16

don't know where it's from I'm

47:19

feeling it here growth

47:24

47:38

47:52

55:01

you Those

55:51

three minutes of fresh, adventurous

55:53

electronic pop from Lily Juniper

55:55

rejoice in the grammatically puzzling

55:57

title of You Me F...

56:01

It's from an upcoming EP called

56:03

Words and was shared with us

56:05

by Jessizat from her introducing show

56:07

on BBC London. And

56:10

before that it was DJ

56:12

Shaq who forwarded Perseid 45

56:14

from the self-titled debut EP

56:17

by the hard-rocking northeastern quintet

56:19

Django Flash. They

56:21

recently shared both a stage and,

56:23

very kindly, their backline with my

56:26

band at Three Tanners Bank in
