Jon Hillcock sits in with Ultimate Painting

Jon Hillcock sits in for Mary Anne Hobbs and is joined by Jack Cooper and James Hoare from Ultimate Painting, who deliver a 3 Minute Epiphany on song-writing duos.

Jon Hillcock sits in and is joined by one of his favourite bands, Ultimate Painting. Jack Cooper and James Hoare from the group deliver a 3 Minute Epiphany on the magic chemistry within song-writing duos.

With Jack and James already earning their crust in two great indie bands, Mazes and Veronica Falls respectively, the pair joined forces in 2014 after meeting on a European tour. The name Ultimate Painting is a homage to the celebrated art piece created by the collaborative community Drop City, who have been described as the first 'hippie commune'. You can thank us later if that ever comes up in a pub quiz ...

Releasing their self-titled debut album in October last year, Ultimate Painting's second offering 'Green Lanes', recorded on one-inch tape, is released on August 7th. On writing the album Jack said "everything we do ... is always filtered through the other person". Clearly this is a process that works incredibly well.
