Our Take

MODERN NATURE's latest offering, "Island of Noise," is a delightful journey into the weird and wonderful world of experimental folk. This London-based band has crafted a collection of tracks that effortlessly blend electronica, psychedelia, and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Sunshine City," a track that oozes summer vibes and feels like a warm hug on a cold day. The band's knack for catchy hooks and dreamy melodies is on full display here, making it impossible to resist tapping your foot along.

Tracks like "Mothra" and "Glass" showcase MODERN NATURE's ability to create atmospheric soundscapes that transport the listener to another dimension. The subtle use of electronic elements adds a futuristic edge to their sound, while singer Jack Cooper's haunting vocals pull you in and never let go.

But it's on the title track, "Island of Noise," that the band truly shines. This epic, eight-minute journey takes the listener on a sonic rollercoaster ride, with intricate guitar work and pulsating rhythms that build to a thrilling crescendo.

Overall, "Island of Noise" is a triumph for MODERN NATURE, showcasing their experimental spirit and musical prowess. It's a must-listen for anyone craving a sonic adventure that transcends genre boundaries. Grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let the music take you to the Island of Noise.

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.
