That’s not to say it’s a sad album, as Heidecker’s musings are placed over. I don’t see the value in having fun/ I think I’m done. It’s not all about doom and gloom, but death and the fear of it is the guiding focus of the album. Today, Heidecker is sharing Fear Of Death ’s lead single and title track, which features vocals from his old friend Weyes Blood. "Was there more that I could do? / Do you think I let you down?" he sings without a tinge of irony in his voice. Mering’s phenomenal 2019 album, ‘Titanic Rising,’ explored living in a world of doom and death, a topic which guides Heidecker’s appropriately titled album. 25 from Spacebomb Records, Heidecker gets a musical assist from Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, who co-produced, sings throughout and co-wrote. Heidecker understands the plight of the "bum" – the type of person who has been rejected by the world around them – and reminisces about times lost over a light heartland-folk instrumental. On his latest album, Fear of Death, due Sept. His new song "Buddy" – from his upcoming album High School, out June 24 – is a heartfelt expression of empathy, directing sympathies toward a forgotten friend from his past. His latest, Fear of Death (Spacebomb Records) is a reckoning of sorts, leaving behind the jokes to examine the looming specter of mortality and the questions that come with it. This sort of character has made an appearance in almost every project of his, but Heidecker has always managed to let his true personality shine through in one medium more than others: his music.
For years, the multi-hyphenate comedian has served as a conduit for social outcasts, from his work with Eric Wareheim and Gregg Turkington to his starring turn in Rick Alverson's The Comedy, in which he plays a jaded hipster who finds humor in the offensive.
To all the vagabonds, sad sacks and ne'er-do-wells of the world: You have an ally in Tim Heidecker.
