“I reached for an acoustic guitar to idly play. Jeff’s like, ‘That’s the most expensive guitar in this building... Just so you know’”: Cut Worms’ Max Clarke on recording with Jeff Tweedy – and the indie icon's epic gear collection (opens the original)

In the immortal words of 38 Special, “Just hold on loosely, but don’t let go. If you cling too tightly, you’re gonna lose control.” Those are the lyrics I offer to Cut Worms’ Max Clarke as he describes relinquishing control of his music to Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, who took on the role of producer for Cut Worms’ latest LP, Transmitter. The indie singer/songwriter, who lifted his band name from William Blake’s Proverbs of Hell – “The cut worm forgives the plow” – stares blankly back at me through our
“A lot of people might think it was ruined, but I think it’s like 10 times cooler because of that”: King Tuff on his beloved butchered Gibson SG and the world’s most embarrassing Uber journey (opens the original)

Sharing airspace with someone while they listen to your music is among the most mortifying things a working musician can experience. It often happens at the most unsuspecting moments, and it never gets any less embarrassing. During our call, Kyle Thomas – aka King Tuff – recounted an example of this humiliation ritual during an Uber ride. The former L.A. but now Vermont-based singer/guitarist is one of those insanely prolific rock ’n’ roll lifers who always seems to be recording or touring in on
“Frank who? They were like, ‘Frank Ocean!’ He listened halfway through, took a picture, and posted it”: How Cashier’s DIY alt-rock sound is winning them fans in high places (opens the original)

Kylie Gaspard is describing her inbox flooding with DMs from her friends about a guy named Frank sharing Beginner, a song by her alt-rock band, Cashier. “They were like, ‘Frank Ocean!’,” laughs Gaspard, vocalist of the Lafayette, Louisiana-based band. “He listened halfway through, took a picture and posted it. I think it’s in a Rolls Royce. Really crazy, super surreal, and really awesome. He's everything.” “He’s one of the best artists of the past 15 years, for sure,” says Cashier lead guitarist
“J Mascis put this guitar into my hands. He went to some store and the guy was trying to peddle this Jazzmaster, and J has so many of ’em…” Kurt Vile on meeting Neil Young, his prized vintage offset and why he prefers dead strings (opens the original)

It’s a dreary April afternoon, and we’re getting ready to talk to slacker indie hero Kurt Vile about his new record, Philadelphia’s Been Good to Me. The lead single, Chance to Bleed, begs to be blared from a car stereo at dusk on a humid August night. Here in Michigan, a few 70-degree days in March had us hopeful we could place ourselves in Vile’s snapshot of Philly summers by taking the call from our back porch. But with grey skies and temperatures back in the mid-40s, we opt for the living roo
“The bridge is Deftones. They still sound really good to us now. From there we found shoegaze”: Meet Ulrika Spacek, the nu-metalheads who transformed into hypnotic ’90s alt-rockers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Band names are like tattoos. You have to choose them carefully, otherwise, 30 years later, you’ll find yourself with a wrinkled tribal tramp stamp telling people you’re in a band called Foo Fighters. Fortunately, U.K. shoegazers Ulrika Spacek won’t have that problem; they don’t regret their band’s name. “I think we still like the name of the band,” says Rhys Edwards, Ulrika Spacek’s singer and guitarist, with a laugh. “I’m quite glad.” Ulrika Spacek – who, by the way, are named after Sissy Space
