Sean Thompson has been stretching the boundaries of Nashville music for over the past decade. His nimble and lyrical guitar playing has anchored the live bands of Erin Rae, Teddy and the Roughriders, Emily Nenni, Spencer Cullum’s Coin Collection, and more. But it’s his songwriting project, Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears, that’s positioned the 33-year-old as one of the most psychedelic and adventurous artists working today. Head In the Sand, the latest Weird Ears album is out February 7, 2025. It’s not only a leap for its expansive and immersive arrangements but for how Thompson translated one of the most difficult periods of his life into his most personal and cathartic record yet. Over 10 rollicking and undeniable tracks, the LP is a potent wake-up call to let go when things get tough. It’s about being present and embracing life’s towering highs and brutal lows head-on.

When Thompson made his 2022 debut Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears in 2020, he had nothing but time to write, reflect, and tweak. With Head In the Sand, Thompson’s process couldn’t have been more different. “My mom died from cancer, my dog passed, and I had a life-altering breakup,” he says. “While that was happening I probably played 200 shows that year. I was just living on the road.
