Tobin Sprout's 'The Man I Used to Know' shows the same distinctive style he used during his time in Guided by Voices. See why it's a Song You Need to Know
Tobin Sprout is out with “The Man I Used to Know," off his upcoming new album, 'Empty Horses,' out this June.When Sprout was a songwriter for Guided by Voices, his simple writing stood in contrast to frontman Robert Pollard’s bombast. That same distinctive style is on full display on “The Man I Used to Know,” his new solo single. While Pollard weaves larger than life tales of carnival barkers and otherworldly creatures, Sprout is decidedly terrestrial.
His mournful, soft voice intones, “The man I used to know/He’s falling downward/Calling on the world/Goodbye/Goodbye,” against a background of shakers and guitars that just flirt with Dick Dale’s surf rock style.Despite the song’s solemnity, there’s something comforting in its stark presentations, Sprout’s unpretentious phrasing — it’s easy to sink into that gentle sadness without drowning.
