Modern Nature - How To Live Music CD

2019 release. Modern Nature is a project from Jack Cooper (Ultimate Painting, Mazes) and Will Young (BEAK, Moon Gangs). On their debut recording, How to Live, urban and rural intertwine. Throughout this continuous work, where no song ever really seems to end, there's a feeling of constant forward motion. It's as if the band is laying down train tracks and riding them simultaneously. You can hear all kinds of landscapes passing by. Cooper and Young s organic compositions gain muscle through the thoughtful cello of Rupert Gillett, the insistent drumming of Aaron Neveu (Woods), and the expressive saxophone of Jeff Tobias (Sunwatchers). The entire album courses with both precision and vitality, and is a work of surprising layers and limitless depths. Modern Nature may have been inspired by the line between urban and rural, but with How To Live they've gone a step further, and created their own complete world.
