About the artist

Modern Nature

Modern Nature: The Melodic Maestros Bringing Nature to the Urban Jungle Hailing from London, Modern Nature is the brainchild of Jack Cooper, best known for his work with indie darlings Ultimate Painting and Mazes. With a lineup that includes Will Young (not that one) on drums, Aaron Neveu on keys, and Jeff Tobias on saxophone (yes, you read that right), the band brings together a unique blend of folk, jazz, and krautrock influences to create a sound that's as captivating as it is undefinable. Their debut album, "How to Live," released in 2019, received critical acclaim for its ethereal melodies, complex arrangements, and lyrical depth. Tracks like "Seance" and "Turbulence" showcase the band's ability to blend genres with ease, while Cooper's introspective lyrics transport listeners to a world where nature and the urban landscape coexist in perfect harmony. With a sound that's been described as "hypnotic" and "otherworldly," Modern Nature have quickly become darlings of the indie scene, earning comparisons to the likes of Arthur Russell and Talk Talk. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with Tobias' saxophone solos and Neveu's dreamy keys creating a mesmerising atmosphere that's not to be missed. In a world where music is often predictable and formulaic, Modern Nature are a breath of fresh air, pushing boundaries and challenging listeners to think beyond the beaten path. With their sophomore album set for release later this year, we can't wait to see where this talented quartet takes us next. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Modern Nature - they're a band you won't want to sleep on.
