Modern Nature - "Annual" | Album Review

Over the last decade the brooding and scintillating Jack Cooper has been making some of the most quietly excellent guitar music to emerge from England. Partnering with James Hoare (Veronica Falls), he made plaintive and soft indie pop as Ultimate Painting but that project met an untimely demise in 2018 after a disruption in their relationship. It didn’t keep Cooper down for long though, as a year later he formed a new project, Modern Nature, this time with Will Young of BEAK>.
