Modern Nature the name taken from the title of Derek Jarman's garden diaries is the new project of Jack Cooper, ex of Ultimate Painting / Mazes and Will Young of Beak featuring Aaron Neveu of Woods and Sunwatchers' Jeff Tobias on saxophone.
Following the success of their recent Nature EP and show at St Pancras Old Church, Modern Nature are set to release debut album How To Live via Bella Union on 23rd August.
On How to Live, urban and rural cross into each other. Plaintive cello strains melt into motorik beats. Pastoral field recordings drift through looping guitar figures. Rising melodies shine with reflective saxophone accents. Throughout this continuous work, where no song ever really seems to end, there's an indelible feeling of constant forward motion. It's as if the band is laying down a railway and riding it simultaneously, and you can hear all kinds of landscapes passing by.
It's a work of surprising layers and limitless depths, impressing more strongly with each listen. Modern Nature may have been inspired by the line between urban and rural, but with How To Live they've gone a step further, and created their own complete world.
