Hollow Ground

by Cut Worms

supported by

BetoR Country, Cowboy Swing, Power Pop not sure what this is. Infectious melodies from start to finish not a bad song in the lot. Let's add some Ragtime to the mix.

Evan Straight out of the 1960's. FFO the Apples in Stereo / Mile High Club. Masterfully executed & recorded, layers upon layers of instruments and stacks of vocals. Very SMiLE-era Beach Boys. Totally obsessed. Favorite track: Till Tomorrow Goes Away.

Sam Baguley This track has a perrrfect Jonathan Richman guitar sound. Favorite track: Don't Want to Say Good-bye (LP Version).

Craft Tea Classic sound reminiscent of The Everly Brothers Favorite track: Don't Want to Say Good-bye (LP Version).

Mubla Na Thguob Received the vinyl one day before release date. Downloaded album with code inside. I put this album on repeat at work yesterday and never felt the urge to find something else to listen to all night. I hope Cut Worms plays in my area. This is going to be big I believe. Favorite track: Till Tomorrow Goes Away.

about

Max Clarke has a knack for conjuring up warmth in his music, like endless summer or ageless youth. The 27-year-old’s debut LP, Hollow Ground, crackles with the heat of a love-struck nostalgia, woven together with a palpable Everly Brothers’ influence and retro sound. It reaches back into decades of plainspoken, unfussy, and squarely American storytelling and pulls it forth into 2018.

Some of Hollow Ground bloomed from that same period of driven creativity that yielded EP Alien Sunset; both “Like Going Down Sideways” and “Don’t Want To Say Good-Bye” find new life on the LP.

The rest is new. There’s “Till Tomorrow Goes Away,” a sheepish love song, thrumming with twangy guitar and a two-step rhythm. “Cash For Gold” channels buoyancy; a doo-wop effect on the sleepy backing vocals build out the dreaminess of Clarke’s own affecting croon.

Hollow Ground strikes the balance between cerebral and simplicity in his storytelling. His lyrics explore the raw realm of youth, its weightlessness and possibilities, but channeled through a lens of restraint. Someone who’s old enough to know better but still gets drawn back in to the romanticism of teenage feelings – and knows how to take the listener along, too.

Best track on the album is actually Scott Street. Now that that's out of the way, let me just add my voice to the choir of fans who agree that Phoebe Bridgers is one of the best singer-songwriters of the last decade. Okay, bye. James Loves You
