Bella Union

Bella Union is a UK label that has been run by Simon Raymonde, former member of Cocteau Twins, since 1997. With a focus on discovering new talent, Bella Union has introduced the world to bands such as Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Lanterns on The Lake, I Break Horses, Ballet School, and Midlake. As a ℗ & © coyright holding entity, Bella Union continues to be at the forefront of the music industry.

Modern Nature is a British band formed in 2019. Led by Jack Cooper, formerly of Ultimate Painting and Mazes, the group creates a unique blend of folk, jazz, and indie rock. Their debut album "How to Live" received critical acclaim for its introspective lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes. With their captivating live performances and thought-provoking music, Modern Nature has quickly gained a loyal fanbase.
The band's music draws inspiration from nature and explores themes of self-reflection and connection to the world around us. Their songs are characterized by intricate guitar melodies, lush harmonies, and evocative lyrics that resonate with listeners on a deep level.
With their distinct sound and artistic vision, Modern Nature continues to push boundaries in the music industry. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, their albums are sure to captivate your senses and leave you wanting more.

Since the demise of his previous band Ultimate Painting, Jack Cooper – under his Modern Nature guise – has never stopped looking ahead, exploring and reaching for something further. Since 2019, he’s released an EP, last year’s mini album Annual, one full length LP, one 7” and three live cassettes – in the process mapping out astonishing new terrain. Island Of Noise presents an obvious new peak in his discography. Over the last 12 months, Cooper has constructed a beautiful, free-flowing box set’s worth of material featuring a new album, a separate and equally engaging instrumental interpretation of the album and an accompanying book featuring the work of wide-ranging, non-musical artists (including Booker-nominated poet Robin Robertson, mycologist Merlin Sheldrake, illustrator Sophy Hollington, and writer Richard King) that reinterpret, deconstruct or take inspiration from the 10 tracks on the record. Island Of Noise represents an absolute career highlight, combining Cooper’s celebrated songwriting and compositional skills with a free flowing expansiveness coloured by British free music luminaries such as saxophonist Evan Parker, pianist Alexander Hawkins, bassist John Edwards and violinist Alison Cotton, as well as long term collaborators Jeff Tobias and Jim Wallis.

2LP - Pressed on 180g recycled vinyl plus Island of Silence (Expanded Instrumental Version of the Album) – also pressed on 180g recycled vinyl plus 36pg Perfect Bound Booklet with 10 contributions from artists / writers in conjunction with, and inspired by, a song on the album. Contributors include Sophy Hollington, Evan Parker, Merlin Sheldrake and Robin Robertson and all housed in a slipcase with 100% recycled and FSC approved wrap.
