Album Review: Nobody Lives Here Anymore by Cut Worms
Great, Based on 2 Critics

The world that Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Max Clarke builds as Cut Worms is a comforting and familiar one. His nasal, pure-hearted tenor evokes Buddy Holly as surely as a pair of black frame glasses pushed up the bridge of the nose, and the alpine chill, cavernous reverb, and placid stillness of his folk rock instantly recall solo George Harrison. Clarke belongs to a specific lineage of classic-rock devotees--Cass McCombs, Kevin Morby, Whitney--and his records are full of nice, homey, furniture-store qualities: lived-in, grainy, hand-crafted.

On 2018's Hollow Ground, singer and songwriter Max Clarke -- who essentially is Cut Worms -- managed to sound sunny and mildly cynical at the same time as he charmed his way through a fine set of folk-pop tunes. The songs were produced in a variety of retro styles, with Clarke often doubling his vocals into tasty Everly Brothers-style harmonies. Two years later, he's feeling a bit different about things.
