Comedian Tim Heidecker has a new album coming out on Sept. 25. Titled Fear of Death the album is a music departure from his previous comedy-based work.
He is joined on the labum by Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood), Drew Erickson (Jonathan Wilson, Dawes), Brian and Michael D’Addario (The Lemon Twigs), Jonathan Rado, and string arrangements by Trey Pollard (Foxygen, Bedouine, The Waterboys, Natalie Prass). Arrangements on the record even include a 14-piece string ensemble.
“I didn’t know that this record was going to be so focused on death when I was writing it,” Heidecker says. "It took a minute for me to stand back and look at what I was talking about to realize that, yes, I am now a middle-aged man and my subconscious is screaming at me: 'You are getting old, dude! You are not going to live forever! Put down that cheeseburger!’"
The album, available via Spacebomb Records, follows What the Brokenhearted Do…, released by Heidecker in 2019.
SPB caught the Tim & Eric Mandatory World Tour in early 2020 in Australia.
