Cut Worms Announce Double Album, Release Two Singles

Brooklyn country-folk act Cut Worms—also known as Max Clarke—has announced a new double album Nobody Lives Here Anymore, out Oct. 9 on Jagjaguwar. He unveiled two singles today: “Sold My Soul” with a video, and “God Bless The Day.”

Clarke says the album grapples with “throwaway consumer culture and how the postwar commercial wet dreams never came true, how nothing is made to last.” There is a powerful old-timey atmosphere in these songs, and they reverberate with the feeling of road tripping in the South. It sounds like it was pulled from Thelma & Louise. He also mentions themes like a loss of innocence and a sense of homesickness.

The video for “Sold My Soul”—filmed by Caroline Gohlke—captures crazy moments on Route 66 from Chicago to Oklahoma.
