Tom Sinclair
Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
Song titles like ''Angels Hang Their Socks on the Moon'' notwithstanding, Tobin Sprout's second solo effort, Moonflower Plastic (Welcome to My Wigwam), showcases the Guided by Voices guitarist's talents as a deft pop stylist imbued with a more traditional, less surreal vision than that of GbV main man Bob Pollard. If the production were a tad more highfalutin, songs like the lovely ''Since I...'' might even have a shot at Top 40 airplay. B+
