New Show: Ultimate Painting

We’re pleased to announce that This Is Tmrw will be brining Ultimate Painting to the H&H on Tuesday 4th October.

U.K. duo Ultimate Painting formed when Jack Cooper’s band Mazes were on tour opening for James Hoare’s group Veronica Falls in 2013. The two guitarists decided to team up and create music that was unsullied by any digital processes. After exchanging demos and making one failed attempt at recording, they began working on tape machines set up in Hoare’s flat. The duo spent a few months getting their Velvet Underground and classic ’60s and ’70s pop-inspired sound together, with Hoare on bass and Cooper on drums, and both singing and playing guitar. The first recorded song, “Ultimate Painting,” gave them their name.

Dusk is their third album, a ten song set that expands the group’s sound from their self-titled debut and their critically acclaimed sophomore effort Green Lanes, about whose tunes Pitchfork raved their “deceptively simple interplay slowly worms into your synapses.” Dusk heads along the same path, albeit in a slightly different direction, forging to new territory by heading inward.
