Modern Nature - ‘Annual’

Vinyl LP (mustard 'Gold' coloured vinyl) includes download. (BELLA1038V )

Modern Nature have announced news of a new 7- track mini-album titled ‘Annual’.

Released in August 2019, Modern Nature’s debut album – ‘How To Live’ - crossed the urban and rural into each other.

Plaintive cello strains melted into motorik beats.
Pastoral field recordings drifted through looping
guitar figures. Rising melodies shone with reflective
saxophone accents, placing the record somewhere
between the subtle mediations of Talk Talk, the
stirring folk of Anne Briggs and the atmospheric
waves of Harmonia.

The album was met with universal acclaim and
featured in a number of publication’s ‘Best Of 2019’
lists. As the group took the album out on the road,
Modern Nature became something even more
expansive. “It feels like there's scope and room to
grow. I want the group to feel fluid and that
whoever's playing with us can express themselves
and interpret what they think this music is” says
bandleader Jack Cooper.

Their new mini-album ‘Annual’, recorded in
December 2019 at Gizzard Studio in London, is
another step towards something more liberated and
a world away from the sound of Jack Cooper's
previous bands. Will Young sits this one out,
concentrating on his work with Beak, but How To
Live collaborator Jeff Tobias takes a more central
role, alongside percussionist Jim Wallis.
