The city and the country both have distinct, vibrant energies - but there's something happening in between, too. As factories give way to fields, and highways drift into gravelly roads, the friction can be palpable, the aura electric.

Visiting Jarman's home, Cooper was struck by what he calls a "weird mix of urban and rural" - such as the way a nuclear power station sits next to open grasslands. On Modern Nature's debut album, How to Live, urban and rural cross into each other.
