Modern Nature was the eighth Charlatans album to enter the British top ten, hitting number seven in the week of release. All four singles from the record, ‘Talking In Tones’, ‘So Oh’, ‘Come Home Baby’, ‘Let The Good Times Be Never Ending’ were A-listed at BBC 6Music and featured on playlists at Radio 2, XFM and Absolute Radio. In October 2014, the Charlatans were given a lifetime achievement award by Q magazine, the icing on the cake after journalists wrote glowing reviews of Modern Nature across the UK and international press.

In Modern Nature, The Charlatans have achieved that rare feat of making a gigantic step forward without losing what made them so special in the first place… and they’re still looking toward the future too. Tim Burgess says that they’re already itching to get started on a follow-up to Modern Nature: “The idea is to go and make another record quite quickly. It’d be great to do one while the feeling is so good,” he says. And, as Tony Rogers promises: “the best is yet to come”.
