Modern Nature (Bella Union) + support
Modern Nature will tour the UK this autumn in support of their new album The Heat Warps, out 29th August via Bella Union. Led by frontman Jack Cooper (of Ultimate Painting), Modern Natures recent records have reflected an insular life. Cooper had moved out to the countryside in 2021 and had, in his words, been hibernating while he started a family. Now joined by new member Tara Cunningham as well as longterm bandmates Jim Wallis and Jeff Tobias, this new band was a symbol for Cooper's reawakening and the perfect vessel for him to continue to explore themes that hes sung about with Modern Nature collectivism, our relationship with the natural world, the weight of consciousness but with more directness and purpose. For all that the new album wrestles with the grimmer realities of 2025, The Heat Warps is ultimately not a record entirely consumed by anxieties. Its frequently beautiful sounds offer consolation and a wide-eyed optimism amid all the upheaval. Modern Nature is a group that blurs the lines between folk music, modern composition and improvisation. Since 2019, they have released three critically acclaimed albums and a host of other material that includes an instrumental album, a short record called Annual and four cassettes of improvised music.
