Tim Heidecker is working through his existential dread. He's best known for his absurdist comedy and creative partnership with Eric Wareheim that began when the pair was in college. As Heidecker has leaned more into songwriting in recent years, he has also embraced baring through music these dark meditations that keep him awake.

“Slipping Away,” his latest album out Friday, vacillates between semi-fictional apocalyptic storytelling and poignant, vulnerable reflections on fatherhood, aging and success. “I’ve got bills to pay / I’ve gotta keep working every day / I’m not gonna go down in history / Only my family, will remember me,” he sings on “Dad of the Year.”
Even as he spends more time making and touring his music, Heidecker has maintained his expansive comedic world-building through his weekly call-in show, “Office Hours Live,” and his sprawling satirical movie review series “On Cinema,” which he has hosted with Gregg Turkington for more than a decade. That ethos has moved Heidecker to put in the sometimes-difficult work required to maintain those friendships and collaborations, something Wareheim thinks Heidecker is particularly gifted at.
So he slowly began moving away from the satirical and silly songs he had been putting out, like his 2017 concept album critiquing former President Donald Trump or his record, “Urinal St. Station,” released in 2013 by one of his bands, The Yellow River Boys.
