Sprout, Tobin

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

The Universe And Me
Pop New - LP BRGR1050 Burger
Sealed 2017 Original With Custom Hype Sticker On Shrink. The Universe And Me Takes A Deliberately Primitive Approach That Focuses On Feeling, As Opposed To Production. The Result Is A Vague Bridge Between The Ballads Of Psych-Era Beatles, And The Haunting Vulnerability Of Daniel Johnston's Hi, How Are You? Many Of The 14 Tracks Act Like A Diorama Of A Boy's Imagination, Like "Future Boy/Man Of Tomorrow," Which Was Inspired By Sprout's Fascination With Superheroes From His Youth. The Wistful "When I Was A Boy" Is A Short, Stunning Ballad Relating Childhood Grounding To Adulthood. "Walk Across The Human Bridge" Is A Heavy-Hitting Rocker Driven By Shredding And Lyrics Describing The Decline Of Humanity. "Tomorrow From Heaven" Is About Dealing With The Sadness That Follows Death.
