Every week Signal Committee create an Eclectic Picks playlist. All tracks are selected from the full inbox of 200 tracks that are submitted each week to Fresh On The Net. Check out their picks from Monday 10th May below.

WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR?

Our playlists are orientated to the alternative music fan. Lyrics are not essential, abstract ideas are embraced and the fusing of different genres is encouraged. If you used to write band names on your pencil case at school, you’ll probably like our playlists.

A FEW WORDS ON THIS WEEK’S PICKS

We have no rules on how many tracks we pick. Last week, a tidy collection of 10 tracks made the cut. This week, we ended up with a twin disc special edition with 23 tracks. But the quality remains the same. In particular, a couple of ‘post-rock’ tracks caught our ears this week. Perhaps Mogwai’s latest album has been inspiring some of you. That aside, there’s plenty of sublime stuff in there from trip-hop, electronic to atmospheric/ambient tracks.

If you got this far, give the full list a blast and drop a comment below with your thoughts!
