Modern Nature return with soothing new single "Séance"
Modern Nature have shared new single "Séance" from their forthcoming debut album How To Live.
"Séance" arrives after earlier singles "Footsteps" and "Peradam".
Jack Cooper (formerly of Mazes / Ultimate Painting) says of their new single, ""Séance" closes out the first half of the album and the intention was for it to represent an anxiety episode that descends into a breakdown, hence the cut up tape edits and collapse. The themes in the words hopefully come across in the way we played the song... It’s taught and stuttering, Will’s organ melody moving against the rhythm is my favourite part of the album. The "take shelter" line is lifted from the Jeff Nichols film of the same name... the perfect study of existential dread and impending doom. I think it’s a pretty topical song…"
The band, made up of members of Beak>, Ultimate Painting, Woods, and Sunwatchers released their debut EP Nature back in March.
Cooper says of their upcoming debut record, "Approaching the album as a film or play made complete sense, and from that came the idea to have a very defined narrative, reoccurring themes and chord progressions, field recordings and a set palette of instruments and sounds. Each song came with pages and pages of notes, musical references, films, books, places, words and feelings."
