TIM HEIDECKER - SLIPPING AWAY - INDIE EXCLUSIVE - TEAL COLOR - VINYL LP
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, the multi-hyphenate comedian and songwriter Heidecker has reached 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
