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.” 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. The band will tour the U.S. for the first time ever later this month including a weeklong stint at CMJ. A full list of tour dates is below.
