Compost Compost Compost
Electro-acoustic London ensemble threading art-pop through jazz-trained ensemble playing
Based in London, United Kingdom
Intricate electric guitar, prominent bass and songwriter-led vocals are folded into electronics, shifting ensemble arrangements and a persistent dance-music undertow. The live presentation expands beyond the core trio with players drawn from jazz and classical disciplines, plus immersive visuals.
More about Compost Compost Compost
Jamie Holman and George Thorby developed the project in Guildhall's Electronic and Produced Music department with jazz alumnus Isaac Burland, then brought in musicians from across the school's classical, jazz and electronic programmes. They reached The Great Escape and Green Man in 2026 before establishing a conventional recorded catalogue, making the live set the project's primary form.
