Tim Heidecker has announced his next album, Slipping Away. The follow-up to 2022’s High School is set to arrive on October 18 via Bloodshot Records. The lead single ‘Well’s Running Dry’, out today, is about writer’s block. “As soon as I wrote that, I worried that itʼs not cool to talk about,” Heidecker said in a statement. “But a second later, I thought — well thatʼs challenging and exciting. Letʼs push past that.” Check it out below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
Heidecker made Slipping Away with the Very Good Band: Eliana Athayde on bass, vocals, and additional production, Josh Adams on drums, Vic Berger on keys, and Connor “Catfish” Gallaher on guitar and pedal steel. His daughter Amelia also contributed to the record.
“Having been doing quote-unquote ‘entertainment’ for 20 years now in different forms, it
was a revitalizing experience to be out of my comfort zone a little bit,” Heidecker shared. “It was a learning opportunity.” He added, “People ask me a lot about the difference between making music and comedy. I finally got to a point where I was like, ‘Let’s stop thinking about these things as genres.’ It comes out in different formats but hopefully it all becomes one big thing that I’m making. I think it’s fairly united.”
