Former Guided by Voices guitarist Tobin Sprout is slated
to release a limited-edition (1,000 copies), two-LP vinyl set of demos
titled Demos & Outtakes before year's end, according to a spokesperson
for the singer. The 31-track effort will offer rough previews of songs
slated for the debut album from Sprout's new band, eyesinweasel.
A single-CD version of the demo set with fewer tracks is scheduled for
an early-2000 release. A two-song debut single from eyesinweasel —
which features bassist Dan Toohey, another GBV alumnus — is
slated for release in January. The single will feature the songs "Seven
and Nine" and "Daughters of the Moon (the Jim Eno Version)"; a full-length
album from the band is expected later in the year.
