Tobin Sprout has been a sometime contributor to Guided By Voices extensive catalogue. He is also , according to his Spotify profile a Lo-Fi pioneer. His latest album Empty Horses is certainly worth a listen. And probably also worth coming back to.
It's an understated but confident record. Sprout clearly knows what he's doing. Nothing particularly sticks on first listen but it has a nagging sense of assurance that imposes itself on the listener. All sounded better second time round.
Old school is how I'd describe it. I thought of Neil Young on occasion. Let's face it, Young was old school' right from the off. Anyhow, a tender and likable record that probably keeps its finest moments for the last two tracks, All in my Sleep and No Shame.
