Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones and that's certainly true of 'Not Gonna Burn Myself Anymore', the first single from Ultimate Painting's upcoming fourth LP Up!. Jack Cooper explains,"I wrote it in one go and disregarded it as I thought it'd come too easy or that it was too much like something I'd obviously write. Over the next few days I kept singing it to myself. Sometimes the best songs are completely spontaneous and pure. I wrote the words to reflect that... not everything worthwhile has to be hard work." The relaxing yet jangly guitar-driven number sees the duo overcoming doubts about their sound after a brief flirtation with incorporating more electronic elements. 'Not Gonna Burn Myself Anymore' puts Ultimate Painting firmly back on the map and comes alongside news of the band's recent signing to Bella Union, suggesting that everything is looking up (sorry) for these guys. -HLMX
