The British songwriter returns with a four-song EP defined by theatrical arrangements and an actorish guest list featuring Iggy Pop, Laurie Anderson, Perfume Genius, and Matt Berninger.
Various artists, Red Xerox: Chicago Youth Beat 2020-2025

Cut Worms, Transmitter
Produced by Jeff Tweedy, Max Clarke’s fourth album tampers down the luster of past records, grounding aspects of the indie-folk songwriter’s music that once seemed impossibly pristine.
