Modern Nature

A meandering blend of bucolic folk, experimental jazz, and psych-tinged indie rock, Modern Nature is a project led by British musician Jack Cooper. They made a strong critical impression with 2019's How to Live, which introduced the amorphous musical style that has become their calling card. The group made an even bigger statement with 2021's double album Island of Noise. Its nature-driven themes and hypnotic mix of improvisation and structured composition were further expanded on their third record, 2023's No Fixed Point in Space. After this, the band shifted gears, moving toward a more structured form of songwriting emphasized on 2025's The Heat Warps.
