Jack Cooper of Ultimate Painting has announced a tour of Europe and the UK, starting later this month.
The UK leg of the tour will feature stops in Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester and London, with Cooper joined by Parquet Courts' A. Savage. The pair will both play in each others live bands, alongside Woods' Jarvis Taveniere on bass and Aaron Neveu on drums.
Cooper has also shared a cover of Pink Floyd's Fat Old Sun. Speaking about the cover, he said:
"I was selling merch at the last show of my US tour and a guy who had bought a record told me that the live band sounded like 'Meddle'-era Pink Floyd. In hindsight I should've hugged him because as far as compliments go, that's the best I've ever had. I think that post-Syd and pre-'Dark Side'; Pink Floyd were such an interesting band... weird, English, pastoral, loose, economic and occasionally perfect. I love Syd Barrett and most things up to 'The Wall' but I think that mid-era is the most fascinating. I love recording covers and in learning this I gained some fresh perspective on simplicity."
Cooper's debut solo album, 'Sandgrown', arrived via Trouble in Mind last August.
