TOBIN SPROUT - The Universe And Me LP garage From the minimalist and destructive

From the minimalist and destructive opener "Sympa" to the dark and disturbing closer "A nu"

Parquet Courts may appear a little obnoxious at times with how quirky their music

But its biggest accomplishment is in the whoas

it's basically a spoken word tune about weirdos who live in his neighborhood

TOBIN SPROUT - The Universe And Me LP garage From the minimalist and destructiveThe Universe and Me is Sprout's sixth solo album; hatched during a seven year gestation period that included unearthing lost recordings (the single, "Future Boy Today Man of Tomorrow" for one, was being saved for GBV), and digging through a treasure chest of memories in his home studio in Michigan, where Sprout composed behind his shambling grand piano and trembling, boyish voice.
