Tim Heidecker has announced a new LP, Fear of Death, featuring contribution from Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, the Lemon Twigs, Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado, and more. The follow-up to 2019’s What the Brokenhearted Do… comes out September 25 via Spacebomb. The artist has also unveiled the album’s title track, along with a music video filmed at Valentine Studios in Los Angeles. Check it out below, and scroll for the cover artwork and tracklist.
“I didn’t know that this record was going to be so focused on death when I was writing it,” Heidecker said in statement. “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!’”
He added: “This record is a dream come true for me. I got to work with some of the best, and nicest, musicians in town who helped me take some shabby, simple tunes and turn them into something I’m really proud of.”
