Sean Thompson just keeps on chooglin’. We caught a whiff of Thompson’s sick licks during the garage-rock-and-house-party days of the 2010s and have watched him grow from an ax-slinging sideman to righteous keeper of The Vibe. Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears, his first full-length as bandleader, finds Thompson riding a deep stoner-country wavelength. Laid-back and dynamic, Weird Ears elicits wondering, wonderfilled performances from his collaborators that evoke J.J. Cale and Neu! in equal measure.
