The Heat Warps album art
Modern Nature releases their hotly anticipated new album The Heat Warps today via Bella Union, a deceivingly encouraging collection through which Jack Cooper – the band’s main creative force – continues to explore themes of collectivism, our relationship with the natural world, the weight of consciousness with more directness and purpose. The collection has earned accolades spanning Under The Radar, BrooklynVegan, Earmilk, Aquarium Drunkard, FLOOD and today they share Lennon-esque final single “Zoology”, a contender for the best song Jack Cooper has written and a hymn to life on earth, unburdened by human consciousness

In the time Modern Nature has been a band, the world has undoubtedly changed. For all the grimmer realities of 2025 that the new album wrestles with, it is ultimately not a record entirely consumed by anxieties. Jack Cooper explains, “Every day we’re confronted with a confusing and scary world. Making music and creating things can sometimes feel flippant or unnecessary, but my own world view was defined and influenced by art and artists who weren’t afraid to highlight and offer solutions: Public Enemy, The Smiths, and a wider American counterculture.” The refreshingly optimistic record's themes and lyrics are directed toward the community they've built in their immediate life and with their fans who are "struggling to reconcile how they fit into an increasingly cruel world." It acts as a siren call to the community to double down with the hope that making an album that’s open, uplifting and ambitious is in itself can be part of the solution.
The Heat Warps features the core trio of Jack Cooper (vocals, guitar), Jim Wallis (drums) and Jeff Tobias (bass guitar) augmented by a new guitarist – Tara Cunningham. Be sure to catch Modern Nature on tour in the US this winter & UK this fall.
