Ultimate Painting Debut Arrives October 28th

ULTIMATE PAINTING SHARES “TEN STREET” FROM DEBUT ALBUM OUT OCTOBER 28TH ON TROUBLE IN MIND

U.S. TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

“‘Ten Street’…is a rambling groove that exists on the same slipshod continuum as Lou Reed and Pavement. At the end, it descends into a dramatic barebones piano outro, but mostly it just rolls along with a pleasantly casual verve.” – Stereogum

“the duo pour the spirit of The Kinks and The Velvet Underground into simple but effective lines like ‘I don’t know the reason for this desperation.'” – Consequence of Sound

UK duo Ultimate Painting, comprised of James Hoare (Veronica Falls) and Jack Cooper (Mazes), are set to release their self-titled debut album on October 28th via Trouble In Mind. They’ve already shared album tracks “Winter in Your Heart” and “Ultimate Painting” and today, they’re back with “Ten Street,” which has been receiving early support from BBC radio. Having both been brought up on a heady stream of 60s bands and with a mutual appreciation of classic recording techniques, Jack and James set out to collaborate the old fashioned way, not allowing their music to be touched by anything digital. The entirety of their debut was recorded straight to tape in James’ flat over a few months. It unravels and explodes outwards, at times meandering through a sparse dim lit cave and at others soaring up above the trees led by the perfect melody. The whole record feels like the rural romanticism of Ray Davies crossed with the cosmopolitan chic of early-Seventies NYC. The band will tour the U.S. for the first time ever later this month including a weeklong stint at CMJ.
