Franklin Thompson - Anniversary / Thinking Impaired

Recently unearthed by soothsaying label boss and card-carrying time traveller Peanut Butter Wolf, Stones Throw’s new 7” release from Franklin Thompson continues where ‘Planet Jumper’ left off: synthesizer-heavy, electro R&B soul that rightly elevates Thompson’s unsung status to the “Damn Shame” Hall Of Fame. Collectors and 80s aesthetes will revel in Thompson’s virtuoso-as-outsider mythology while contemporary fans of Dam Funk and Arabian Prince will make their turntables happy with Thompson’s preternaturally strong melodies, ass-friendly grooves, and idiosyncratic singing voice. And beyond its own intrinsic appeal, this 45 is yet another exciting step in Stones Throw’s ongoing commitment to give recognition to pop music’s most criminal omissions. Don’t sleep.
