Modern Nature reveal new single, "Shasta"

"Shasta" is the first release from Modern Nature since their latest album, The Heat Warps, dropped in late August.

“I wrote the words to this song when I was looking out the window driving through Northern California in 2024. For about an hour of the drive Mount Shasta loomed in the distance. Obscured by silhouettes of pine, mist and steamy van windows. It looked like Mount Doom. A lot of The Heat Warps words were written whilst looking out of a van window. Shasta didn't quite make the record. At the time I felt it didn't quite fit and changed the flow of the album. Important things! In the intervening months, I've revisited it and seen something in it that I didn't at the time. It's on a flexi-disc that came with a special edition of the album, but I wanted everyone to hear it. So to coincide with our West Coast shows that begin a stone’s throw from Shasta in Arcata...here it is," says vocalist and guitarist Jack Cooper of the new track.
