Cut Worms (USA)

Cut Worms, the music project of American singer-songwriter Max Clarke, brings his latest album Transmitter to Sydney. Produced by Jeff Tweedy at Wilco's Loft studio, Transmitter deepens Clarke's artistry through a convergence of two like-minded sensibilities. The album channels the ecstatic spirits of power pop and alt rock, expanding Cut Worms' vintage palette whilst reaffirming his gift for timeless songwriting. Tweedy's influence as producer shaped the sonic textures and emotional spaces of these songs, which reckon with themes of connection, beauty, and endurance. Clarke performs at full stride, writing with conviction and crafting nuanced rock compositions that explore what it means to find grace amid dislocation.
