Ultimate Painting was an English alternative rock band, formed in London in 2014. The band comprised co-frontmen Jack Cooper and James Hoare, with a revolving cast of rhythm sections. The band was named after a painting made by the Drop City art community in Colorado in the late 1960s.
Cooper and Hoare formed a fast friendship when Cooper’s band Mazes were on tour supporting Hoare’s band Veronica Falls, sharing similar tastes in music, art & films. It wasn’t until after returning home that a musical synergy was formed. After numerous demos were exchanged, a few casual jam sessions turned into something more; a partnership. Christening themselves after a piece of art by the Southern Colorado desert community (and fanciful geodesic dome builders) “Drop City”, the lads set to work recording their debut proper.
The band signed to Trouble in Mind and released their self-titled debut album in 2014. Follow-up album Green Lanes was released in 2015, and the third album Dusk on 30 September 2016.
On 12 February 2018, Jack Cooper announced that the band were splitting up. An already announced fourth album release was cancelled.
