[Video] Modern Nature - How To Live

Modern Nature - the new project of Jack Cooper, ex of Ultimate Painting and Mazes - has shared a new video for 'Nature', taken from their debut album, 'How To Live', out now via Bella Union.

“I’d been out filming Brighton Day of Dance earlier in the year, where Morris teams from all over the country come and spend the day dancing and drinking outside various pubs in Brighton,” says director Conan Roberts. “It was more out of curiosity of this slightly bizzare British tradition than anything else.

"Jack saw some of the footage and thought it could be a great accompaniment to one of the tracks from the album. I cut the Morris footage and then independently cut the landscape footage before compositing the two. It was more an experiment in how the two images may or may not work together, exploring the synergy of the dancers movements alongside the shapes of nature.”
