THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “After the breakthroughs of 2020’s wistfully lush Fear Of Death — and 2022’s High School, whose tales of nostalgia were never quite as distant as they seemed — multi-hyphenate artist Tim Heidecker reaches a new peak with Slipping Away, his warmest and fullest record to date.
While all of his albums are concept records to some degree, this one tells a story on a larger scale, offering an imagistic framework that allows for some of his brightest melodies, heaviest themes (the feeling of before the fall and after), and most direct and vulnerable lyrics.
Heidecker is a comedian, writer, actor, and musician. Along with Eric Wareheim, he is a member of the comedy duo Tim & Eric. He co-hosts the parodic film-review web series On Cinema and the weekly call-in show Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker. As A musician, he has surrounded himself and collaborated with a murderer’s row of contemporary artists (Kurt Vile, Mac Demarco, Weyes Blood, Waxahatchee) and has been releasing earnest ’70s-songwriter-tinged music under his own name for the last few years.”
