about
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 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
‘A 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.

All that is old is new again. This is so fresh and exhilarating. Troubled times are brewing. Bob brings light to all this darkness. Thank you sir for the respite. Christopher Beucherie

The Buzzcocks and Pauline Murray delivered classic versions of the song, but Bob Mould's rendition is similarly top-notch: catchy, biting, and anthemic. poikkeus
