Description
Since the demise of his previous band Ultimate Painting, Jack Cooper under his Modern Nature guise has never stopped looking ahead, exploring, and reaching for something further. Since 2019, hes released an EP, mini album Annual, one full length LP, one 7 and three live cassettes in the process mapping out astonishing new terrain. Island Of Noise presents an obvious new peak in his discography.
Mesmerising A treasure trove of interesting musical ideas, as well as a source of restorative solace. The Guardian 4 stars ****
On Island Of Noise Modern Natures Jack Cooper folds together much of what hes already done illuminated pop, exploratory improvisations, post-Canterbury prog and locates a common thread, expanding outwards with the help of free- music pioneers saxophonist Evan Parker and bassist John Edwards. Uncut 9/10
Jack Cooper captures a sense of mystery and magic on his second album as Modern Nature, using gentle folk rock as the base for a subtle evocation of peacefulness. The Times 4 stars ****
