Artist, illustrator, writer and lo-fi innovator, Tobin Sprout was the super-productive partner of Robert Pollard
in the legendary Guided By Voices.
The gifted songwriter returns pensive and expansive on biographical new single ‘A Man I Used To Know’.
‘The Man I Used To Know’ audio
The new album, ‘Empty Horses’, which will be released as a limited-edition art book, will be a meticulously-observed study of America and Americana (not the music, but the state of mind). An alternative American Songbook, if you will, a collection of laments to simpler times and the struggle for what’s right, peppered with an examination of faith and the search for a sense of justice.
“Sprout’s lyrics pop with personality and wisdom” Pitchfork
“Raw, honest and oftentimes revelatory” Consequence Of Sound
‘The Man I Used To Know’ was recorded at the Goon Lagoon in Grand Rapids by Tommy Schichtel, along with long time band members, Gary and Steve Vermillion on bass and drums respectively.
