This Thursday April 23 Cut Worms is at George's with Liam Kazar. All ages. Get tickets at georgeslive.com Doors open at 7pm Music starts at 8pm! Transmitter is out now - listen to "Windows On The World" where you get music. Transmitter is Max Clarke’s fourth full length record as Cut Worms. Produced by Jeff Tweedy at Wilco’s Loft studio, Transmitter marks a deepening of Clarke’s abilities and the convergence of two artists whose work searches for grace amid dislocation. These are places shaped by the myth of self-reliance, where people sold the idea of connection through technology have been reduced to quiet transmitters—data points bought and sold, manipulated and measured, their lives distorted through the very networks meant to unite them. The first signs of Transmitter came when Cut Worms were on the road supporting Wilco in the summer of 2024. At the end of the tour, Tweedy invited the band to record at the storied Loft in Chicago, and plans were soon made to commence that fall. In the Loft’s warm clutter of guitars, amplifiers, and books, Clarke and Tweedy quickly found common musical ground and a shared instinct for songs that hold complexity. While Clarke’s voice and writing formed the framework, Tweedy’s guitar and bass lines sketched the rooms the songs inhabit. Tweedy’s presence as a producer revealed itself not in heavy-handed choices but in how he colored spaces and continually offered new textures. Between them, their like-minded sensibilities bridged a generational gap to create something more nuanced than either might have made alone. --- See you soon in Fayetteville AR @fayettevillear @georgesmajesticlounge

🚨 Episode 507 IWOL Live from Max Clarke’s Car Max is rattling down streets in a Fender humming panic. His Princeton is on the outs, more whole lotta nothing than whole lotta love. We make a call, so he puts the car in idle to cough up half remembered dreams while New York leaks past the windshield in streaks. Cut Worms (@cutworms ) are gearing up for another North American odyssey in support of “Transmitter,” and he talks to us live from the driver’s seat about the great American rock existentialists, Chilton, Westerberg, Elliott Smith, and beyond. So join us on the journey. It’s Holden Caulfield drifting through a Peter Hujar afternoon, where everyone and everything looks beautiful and doomed at the same time. We love you, Max. Support us on Patreon for a bonus episode every week. @impossiblewayoflife is made by musicians, for musicians, pulling back the curtain on the grind, the glory, and the gloriously unhinged world of making music.

With Transmitter, Max Clarke seems to bring into focus everything he’s been exploring as Cut Worms over the years. The fourth LP, produced by Jeff Tweedy at Wilco’s Loft studio, finds him deepening his craft while opening his songs up to a more collaborative, expansive approach, leaning into the tension between connection and isolation shaped by modern life and the myth of self-reliance. At the same time, the record still carries that familiar Cut Worms warmth, drawing from melodic songwriting traditions while pushing into darker, more textured territory (“Evil Twin,” “Long Weekend,” “Dream”). “To me, it feels like a progression. I think the songs are richer in substance, at least that’s how it feels from my perspective. Production-wise, there’s a cohesiveness that comes from working more closely with a single producer. Nobody Lives Here Anymore had that with Matt Ross-Spang whereas the self-titled record was more patchwork recorded in different places with different people, and it took more effort to make it feel unified. This one with Jeff, was much more direct. We basically did it in eight days, just knocking out a song a day at The Loft in Chicago, which gave it a natural cohesion.” Read the interview at Hot Sounds. Photo by @caroline__gohlke
