Emerging Workshop + Launch Show 16th November @ Green Door Store, Brighton
Brighton-based multi-disciplinary music company Small Pond are delighted to reveal the final single release to be taken from their forthcoming Small Pond Presents: Emerging Vol. 4 compilation album, set for release on 15th November 2024 on a limited vinyl pressing and all good digital service providers.
The concluding offering comes from Brighton alt-rock trio Jar of Blind Flies with their new single ‘Hell Is An Ocean’ released on 1st November 2024.
Fresh from a recent support slot with The Wedding Present, Jar of Blind Flies take no prisoners with their chunky guitar tones and anthemic choruses. Touching on themes of isolation, nostalgia, and mental health struggles, they’ve forged an iron-clad bond with early listeners already through their undeniable brand of noisy alt-rock.
With their signature ethereal grunge-noise sound already turning heads on the south coast scene, you'd be remiss not to see the trio in full force at the Emerging Vol. 4 workshop and album launch party at Green Door Store, Brighton on 16th November, alongside tracklist-stablemates Could Be Ghosts and Epsom Salts, whose singles were released earlier this autumn.
Building on the success of previous projects, Small Pond’s ‘Emerging’ artist development project once again gives 16 talented young acts (aged 16-25) from Brighton and the South of England the opportunity to rehearse, record, and release their music via Small Pond’s professional studio, label and PR set-up.
Several of the acts featured on previous compilations are now hotly tipped for future success including CLT DRP, Lambrini Girls, El Moono, Bridie Florence, Currls, City Dog and more.

More about Small Pond and the Emerging project:
A young, multi-disciplinary music company run by a team of musicians, audio engineers, and industry professionals, Small Pond is centred around a thriving rehearsal and recording studio complex in the centre of Brighton.
Over the last few years the Small Pond imprint has boasted releases from more than fifteen acts in varying genres, gaining high profile support from a wide spread of media including The Guardian, BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 1 and beyond. The label’s roster, past and present, includes The Physics House Band, Natalie Evans, Inwards, Wild Cat Strike, Town Portal, Yama Warashi, Alarmist, Brian Campeau, Bonniesongs, InTechnicolour, and Luo.
The Emerging project, which has been awarded funding from Arts Council England, focuses on giving promising artists the opportunity to experience all stages in the production and promotion of a record. The process culminates in the pressing and distribution of a compilation album on 12-inch vinyl and digital platforms, and features a track from each of the acts selected.
Along with a marketing and PR campaign for the release, musicians will receive support and industry guidance in the form of workshops, pre-production meetings and mentoring throughout the process. Each act will also receive an allocation of the finished vinyl to sell as merchandise, getting them on the way to earning a tangible income from their music.
The Emerging project was launched in 2020 with the resulting 8 track compilation Small Pond Presents: Emerging featuring singles from MY-HI, CLT DRP, PLACID, El Moono, KING BEE, San Dingo, BADLAWS, and The Subtracks, with CLT DRP going on to sign a full album deal with Small Pond for the release of their debut full-length record Without The Eyes.
Volume 2 was released in 2021 and featured tracks from Lambrini Girls, Bridie Florence, Maya Caskie, Harper, every rose, Dirty, Big Bad, and Masquerader.
Volume 3 was released in 2023 and featured 16 new artists including prom., City Dog, Currls, MAXWELLTHEBAND, Leibniz, Ahsoka, Electric Cowboy Club, Gurf, How Long You Been Driving, atticOmatic, Peach Season, MacEvoy, Psychic and Wellbeing Event, Markus Kan, ALY and Rainy Day Café.
