Modern Nature - The Heat Warps

"When we played the music from our last album, No Fixed Point In Space, it felt like we were already pulling away from the free, open-ended approach we had spent fi ve years trying to achieve.

One night during the tour at Cafe Oto in London, something clicked. Our live sets started gravitating towards rhythm and hooks. It was clear that the trio - myself, Jim and Jeff - were onto something. And then we met Tara. She and I played together at an improvised music night and, for about 45 seconds during one of the pieces, a new path became clear. So Tara joined the band.

The new line-up felt alive and direct. So an approach to songwriting that had become abstract snapped into focus. I think these are the best songs I've written and the best group I've been in.

The music and ideas we've always wanted to communicate are alive but we've shifted; moved into a parallel universe. The heat warps." Jack Cooper The Heat Warps will be released 29th August 2025 via Bella Union. Gatefold Jacket, Black LP.
