Cut Worms, has dropped new single “Dream,” the track is off the the project of Max Clarke’s forthcoming LP Transmitter, available March 13, 2026 via Jagjaguwar. “Dream” follows previous singles “Windows on the World” and “Evil Twin.” Cut Worms will be embarking on a U.S. tour this spring with stops in Philadelphia, Nashville, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and more.

Max Clarke on “Dream”, “This one’s sort of an outlier on the record. I started writing it one day a year or so ago when my friend Antony kindly let me into his church when nobody was there to use the piano for a few hours. Later on, I recorded it myself at home, and in a different, secret piano dungeon hidden somewhere in New York City (real pianos are hard to come by when you live here, in my experience). It was originally called “Cut Worms’ 1,111th Dream” but nobody wanted to say all that so it got abbreviated to “Dream,” understandably so, if not the most original title. I played the piano and bass and did the arrangement of electrical strings and one horn. Then I enlisted the very talented Jesse Kotansky, who Adam Green introduced me to, to make some real-life string recordings and had Tom the engineer blend them together in the final mix. I think it came out well.”

Transmitter was produced by Jeff Tweedy at Wilco’s Loft studio.

In the Loft’s warm clutter of guitars, amplifiers, and books, Clarke and Tweedy quickly found common musical ground . “Jeff instinctively understood who the narrator was and what the story was about in each instance, without me ever needing to say it outright,” says Clarke. Cut Worms and Jeff Tweedy will also be doing a live Q&A with the Jokermen Podcast at Chicago’s storied Old Town School of Folk Music on March 5.
