While the multi-hyphenate comedian and songwriter was on tour in 2022\u2014his first time performing his own material with a full band every night\u2014he noticed a recurring response to his lyrics among his devoted fanbase. \u201cEspecially people my age, maybe a little younger,\u201d he recalls, \u201cThey would come up to me and say, \u2018That is how I feel. And it\u2019s nice to know you feel that way, too\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where his celebrated work in film and television is often an act of complex, surrealist worldbuilding, the increasingly tender and expertly crafted singer-songwriter material that Heidecker releases under his own name is built to encourage these person-to-person connections. After the breakthroughs of 2020\u2019s wistfully lush <em>Fear of Death<\/em>, made in collaboration with Weyes Blood, and 2022\u2019s <em>High School<\/em>, whose multidimensional tales of nostalgia were never quite as distant as they seemed, Heidecker has reached a new peak with <em>Slipping Away<\/em>, his warmest, fullest, and most ambitious record to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess you could say all my records are concept albums to some degree,\u201d Heidecker notes. This one, however, tells a story on a larger scale, offering an imagistic framework that allows for some of his brightest melodies, heaviest themes, and most direct and vulnerable lyrics. \u201cThere\u2019s a feeling of before the fall and after,\u201d he explains of the album\u2019s two-part arc. \u201cThings are going well\u2026 until they\u2019re not. I wanted to write some stories about that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working with his seasoned touring band, Heidecker wrote a series of songs that tap into universal anxieties, familiar settings, and, occasionally, a blast of apocalyptic unease. If he were to perform them solo acoustic, they might sound like folk songs, with their instantly hummable melodies, singalong choruses, and unexpected ability to zoom out far beyond their initial premises. On <em>Slipping Away<\/em>, a father-daughter trip to a ballgame might spiral into a reflection on the random lottery of fame; a walk into town can induce a nightmarish vision of a world without people and the lifelong struggle between man and society. Even the simple act of making music, as portrayed in the cleverly constructed writer\u2019s block anthem \u201cWell\u2019s Running Dry,\u201d can lead to an earnest reflection on insecurity and aging. \u201cAs soon as I wrote that, I worried that it\u2019s not cool to talk about,\u201d Heidecker says. \u201cBut a second later, I thought\u2014well that\u2019s challenging and exciting. Let\u2019s push past that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part of the excitement comes from the electrified, lived-in sound of Heidecker\u2019s band: Eliana Athayde on bass and vocals; Josh Adams on drums; Vic Berger on keys; and Connor \u201cCatfish\u201d Gallaher on guitar and pedal steel. While the songs consistently deal with crises of confidence and community, Heidecker refers to <em>Slipping Away <\/em>as a true group project, a euphoric experience that helped turn his songs into living, breathing things. \u201cMy favorite records are the ones that were just recorded in a room with a band playing,\u201d he says, citing classic-rock landmarks from Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and The Band. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, most of the tracks were captured in their first takes; overdubs were sparse and selective; guest appearances were chosen specifically to suit the material. Foxygen\u2019s Jonathan Rado, a frequent collaborator of Heidecker\u2019s, adds some organ to the nervy new wave of \u201cBows and Arrows\u201d; the moving, waltz-time \u201cSomething Somewhere\u201d culminates in a spooky sample of Tracy Newman singing \u201cLast Night I Had the Strangest Dream.\u201d Most notably, Tim\u2019s daughter Amelia sings a sweet coda to round out the closing \u201cBells Are Ringing,\u201d concluding the album with what Heidecker calls \u201ca little bit of optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heidecker describes working with the band on <em>Slipping Away<\/em> as a personal breakthrough in his career. \u201cHaving been doing quote-unquote \u2018entertainment\u2019 for 20 years now in different forms, it was a revitalizing experience to be out of my comfort zone a little bit. It was a learning opportunity.\u201d Across the record, Heidecker and Athayde, who became a sounding board for many of the initial ideas and is credited with additional production, often take the roles of duet partners. Occasionally they assume a Gram-and-Emmylou dynamic with her quavering, empathetic harmony in ballads like \u201cHey, Would You Call My Mom for Me?.\u201d Elsewhere, in the rollicking, Stonesy story-song \u201cLike I Do,\u201d the band responds to every twist in Heidecker\u2019s narrative with just the right crackling energy. The record is crafted like a killer live set, building in emotional impact and intensity, reflecting a wide array of moods without ever losing its momentum.<\/p>\n<p>After working with indie luminaries like Mac DeMarco, Weyes Blood, and Father John Misty, Heidecker is in a rarefied field of artists who refuse to grow complacent, and creative leaps like <em>Slipping Away <\/em>exemplify his devotion to the craft. Quoting one of his heroes Paul McCartney, Heidecker ascribes to the idea that \u201cwork begets inspiration\u201d and each new project helps lead to the one just beyond it. \u201cPeople ask me a lot about the difference between making music and comedy,\u201d he says. \u201cI finally got to a point where I was like, \u2018Let\u2019s stop thinking about these things as genres.\u2019 It comes out in different formats but hopefully it all becomes one big thing that I\u2019m making. I think it\u2019s fairly united.\u201d This embracing creative philosophy is encapsulated by the massively catchy \u201cDad of the Year,\u201d where Heidecker observes shifting trends in culture and his own changing ambitions, weighing his childhood expectations against the reality he faces as a father approaching 50. \u201cThe only award that I\u2019m gonna see is from my family,\u201d he sings, \u201cand that should be enough for me.\u201d He sounds happy with what he has, but anyone paying attention will know that Heidecker always has his eyes on the next horizon.<\/p>\n<\/div><div
