General Event Info: Monday, May 11 Cut Worms w/ Tchotchke at Grog ShopDoors 7 PM | Show 8 PM ALL AGES$20 advance / $23 day of show+ $3 at the door if under 21Transmitter is Max Clarkes fourth full length record as Cut Worms, due out March 13th via JagJaguwar. Produced by Jeff Tweedy at Wilcos Loft studio, Transmitter marks a deepening of Clarkes abilities and the convergence of two artists whose work searches for grace amid dislocation. Together, they conjure the ecstatic spirits of power pop and alt rock, expanding Cut Worms vintage palette while reaffirming his gift for timeless songwriting.While Clarkes voice and writing formed the framework, Tweedys guitar and bass lines sketched the rooms the songs inhabit. Tweedys 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.Now several albums into his career, Clarke stands fully in command of his craft, resonating at his own frequency. What began as a passion for bygone pop has matured into a study of endurance itself, confirming him as a singer-songwriter of lasting depth. Transmitter finds Clarke in full stride, writing with the conviction of someone whos made peace with uncertainty. These songs reckon with the cost of comfort and return to the idea that beauty, connection, and love are not luxuries but necessities for survival.
