Max Clarke’s indie pop project performs for adoring Brooklyn crowd
Bedroom indie pop project Cut Worms, led by veteran songwriter Max Clarke, brought its warmly nostalgic charm to a packed night at Warsaw this week. Touring in support of this year’s acclaimed album Transmitter — produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco — Clarke and company leaned heavily on the new material while weaving in fan favorites from earlier releases like Nobody Lives Here Anymore and Alien Sunset. The set carried Cut Worms’ signature blend of jangly folk-pop, vintage AM-radio warmth, and bittersweet lyricism, all delivered to an adoring Brooklyn crowd that hung onto every note. To close the night, the band tipped their cap to indie-rock lineage with covers of The Replacements and The Velvet Underground, sending the audience home glowing.
