New York City’s live music archivist site NYC Taper have posted the third recording that they’ve made of Ultimate Painting over the last two years, this time at our Music Hall Of Williamsburg show a couple of months ago. This is really great quality and as ever, we appreciate the care that goes into these recordings. Thanks Acidjack and NYC Taper.

Just look at their crowds on their tour opening for the Brooklyn band Woods and you can tell Ultimate Painting are on the way up. The young band is already two albums in, with new material still coming, and they’ve mastered a capable and engaging live show to go with it. For their slot at Music Hall Of Williamsburg, the band decided to roll out a few new tunes to go with regulars from their self-titled debut and last year’s Green Lanes, including the the band’s eponymous tune and their widely-beloved “Rolling In the Deep End.” The band’s low-key, 60s psych-influenced approach has found an audience not just because of nostalgia, but because of the band’s ability to craft good songs that mine that territory, the sort of numbers that you remember after hearing them only once. True to the spirit of the Velvet Underground  one of several flattering comparisons the band has enjoyed — they don’t let even their shorter performances end without some music exploration, and “Ten Street” has become that for them, with guitarist James Hoare (ex-Veronica Falls) in particular enjoying the chance to stretch his wings. Expect to see Ultimate Painting around for quite a while.

In December of 2013, Phosphorescent played a four-night run of sold-out shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, finishing out a leg of tour dates in support of his excellent latest full-length Muchacho. Matthew Houck, the man behind the project that can range from a solo setup to a six-piece band, played for over ten hours, all of which was recorded and ultimately whittled down to 19 tracks for “Live at the Music Hall”, a three-album set to be released via Dead Oceans on Feb. 17. Houck talked to Paste about playing with his band, the concept of a live album and the way ceremony played into these live performances

Recorded over three nights at The Music Hall of Williamsburg, this triple LP is a veritable best-of from a band at the height of their performative powers. Featuring scorching renditions of the best-loved songs of the Phosphorescent catalog, from “Los Angeles” to “Song for Zula”, Phosphorescent delivers a live album for all-time.
