Modern Nature have previously announced their new album, The Heat Warps, due out August 29, 2025 via Bella Union, which explores themes of “collectivism, our relationship with the natural world, the weight of consciousness with more directness and purpose.”

Their new single Source touches on “the recent riots in the UK directed towards asylum seekers and skewers misinformation spread online.”

Jack Cooper shares:

Source was written in the aftermath of the 2024 UK riots, which were sparked by a campaign of misinformation aimed at asylum seekers. I found myself watching live streams of them unfolding on YouTube, despairing at what I was seeing but oddly gripped. These communities are like the one I grew up in. It’s easy to condemn them and of course their actions were appalling, yet amongst all that hate, you could see people desperate for community and collectivism. I wanted to write something about how I saw it and it turned into this strangely uplifting song in the vein of ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ or the Beta Band’s ‘Dry The Rain’. I was going to send it to Liam Gallagher but then Oasis reformed…
