Modern Nature is the ever-shifting project of British musician Jack Cooper. Since forming in 2019 after the end of Cooper’s previous band, Ultimate Painting, the group has explored the space between improvisation and structure across a string of acclaimed releases. From the reflective How to Live (2019) to the ambitious Island of Noise (2021) and the abstract No Fixed Point in Space (2023), Modern Nature’s music has evolved with its ever-changing lineup. The Heat Warps (2025) is a return to more structured songwriting, driven by a new quartet and delicate, intimate interplay.
