Today, the Brooklyn-based band joins World Cafe for a mini-concert, playing tracks from the brand new album.
For this performance, the band plays through Cut Worms’ first four tracks, including the album’s lead single, “Ballad of the Texas King.” Knowing the latter’s inspiration from the mysterious death of early rock and roller Bobby Fuller gives a keen insight into Clarke’s darkly humorous songwriting approach.
And thanks to WXPN’s Eric Schuman for his help producing this segment.
