This review is from: Demos & Outtakes (Audio CD)

OK, If you've even gotten this far, you probably know who Tobin Sprout is but--For the last 10 plus years Tobin Sprout has been making incredible pop music. He first got recognition as a member of Guided By Voices, co-writing songs and singing a decent share himself. Alas, GBV had a fickle lead singer who fired his entire band at their creative peak and hired a bunch of studio studs (Does this make Bob Pollard the Steinbrenner of the indie world?). Ever since that day Guided By Voices has made a slow descent into the world of indie-mediocrity. On the other hand, Tobin Sprout hasn't made money and he hasn't made a name for himself, but he has been making great records. This one is no exception.

If you're a diehard Tobin fan, you already have this. Quite a few of the songs here can be found on other records, but every version included on Demos is unique to the point of completely warranting getting this. What more can I say? This is 70 minutes of pure lo-fi indie pop bliss, and we should all be thankful that Tobin Sprout continues to make obscure records for our unworthy souls!!
