Taking the name of the band from the diaries of filmmaker <strong>Derek Jarman</strong>, there’s something of the natural world to <strong>Modern Nature</strong>, the band creating contemplative pieces that often allow some respite from the day to day. Each release up until their latest album even features wildlife on the artwork.</p><p><br></p><p>In August 2025, <strong>Modern Nature</strong> put out a wonderful set of new songs in the form of ‘<strong><em>The Heat Warps</em></strong>’ (out via tastemakers <strong>Bella Union</strong>). We caught up with <strong>Cooper</strong> over <strong>Zoom</strong> ahead of release to talk all about the new record, as well as the late <strong>Andrew Weatherall</strong>, friction with an audience, playing live with <strong>Andrew Savage</strong> and introducing your child to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Beatles</strong> - not literally, mind you (though there’s two remaining <strong>Beatles</strong> - never say never!)</p><p><br></p><p>If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow<strong>&nbsp;Birthday Cake For Breakfast&nbsp;</strong>on all the socials.
