Tim Heidecker will release his biggest sounding album yet, Fear Of Death, next Friday, ​ ​ ​ ​ September 25th on Spacebomb Records. Today, he presents the album’s third single, ​ ​ ​ “Property.” While previously-released singles “Nothing” and “Fear Of Death” mull over ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ mortality, “Property” sees Heidecker pondering the possibility of cemeteries becoming part of a capitalistic, real-estate driven world: “They buried those bodies with the best intent, yes ​ they did // But those boxes could be turned into rent, and you know that they will.” Heidecker ​ and Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering’s voices glide over hushed, relaxed percussion and ​ ​ floating keys. As Heidecker’s voice becomes more urgent, the instrumentation billows with brass and pronounced strings.

Fear of Death features an all star band comprised of Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, Drew ​ ​ ​ ​ Erickson (Jonathan Wilson, Dawes), The Lemon Twigs’ Brian and Michael D’Addario, ​ ​ ​ Jonathan Rado, and string arrangements by Spacebomb’s Trey Pollard (Foxygen, Bedouine, ​ ​ ​ The Waterboys, Natalie Prass). Throughout, Heidecker’s sound is fleshed out with winding guitar, slow-building percussion, gentle keys, and a 14-piece string ensemble.

This is an earnest departure from comedy and a collection of songs that centers around Serious Topics. As Variety points out, “the music Heidecker releases under his own name is ​ ​ ​ anything but comical, instead wrestling with the realities of middle age, mortality and marital mishaps.” And although this is serious music about serious topics, Heidecker says: "I hope my ​ ​ observations and meditations on death, the afterlife, the future, while at times a little dark and grim, offer a little comfort and catharsis for some people.” ​

Additionally, Heidecker will play the first copy of the vinyl test pressing in an exclusive live video stream for anyone who has pre-ordered the album via his website (plus Patreon subscribers). The live stream is on September 20th at 7pm EST. ​ ​ ​ ​
