Modern Nature continues their streak of creative excellence with the release of a subtle new gem titled “Shasta.” This evocative single arrives just as the band prepares to launch an extensive North American tour following the universal acclaim of their latest album ‘The Heat Warps.’ Frontman Jack Cooper drew inspiration for the track while driving through the mist and pine trees of Northern California where the silhouette of Mount Shasta loomed in the distance. Originally intended for the new record, this song captures the same structured grooves and optimistic spirit that landed the album a prestigious spot on the Uncut Albums of the Year list. The band recently completed a successful sold-out run in the UK and this new track serves as a perfect companion for their upcoming West Coast performances.
The current iteration of the group features a powerful core of Cooper, Jim Wallis, and Jeff Tobias alongside the shimmering dual guitar work of new member Tara Cunningham. Their latest music signals a shift toward more deliberate arrangements while maintaining the poetic depth and connection to the natural world that fans adore. The massive winter tour kicks off tomorrow at The Miniplex in Arcata before visiting intimate venues like the 4 Star Theater in San Francisco and the Union Pool in Brooklyn. Critics have praised ‘The Heat Warps’ for its meticulous art-pop sensibilities and soulful avant-folk textures. By embracing a more direct and purposeful sound, Modern Nature creates a sense of collective hope that resonates deeply with their community of listeners.
