U.K. indie rock band Modern Nature dropped an accompanying film based on their latest album Island of Noise yesterday.

The film, which can be seen below, was created by Modern Nature vocalist Jack Cooper and Conan Roberts. The film was originally shown at a handful of exclusive screenings. Cooper said this about working on the visual:

"At the start of 2021 we moved to a small village near Cambridge and the idea for a film to accompany the album came from starting to explore the fields and woods around our house. One morning in January, I chanced upon a very barren field that was cut in two by a worn path. Standing in line with the path, the trees at the edge of the field cut the horizon in half and everything seemed to fall into place. For a few minutes I stood there appreciating the symmetry.

The idea for the film came together on the walk home, as I passed more scenes that struck me as having order amongst the ever shifting chaos,” continues Cooper. “As the weeks and months went by, Conan Roberts and I accumulated hours of static footage, all structured around the original scene. As winter turned to spring, a narrative emerged; the land regenerating and a country emerging from the pandemic. The idea was something to focus one’s attention on the music but I suppose it found a life of its own."

Island of Noise is available now on Bella Union. Modern Nature will promote the album with a tour across the U.K. this May. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
