TIM HEIDECKER High School (Clear Red Vinyl) Review:
If there's one thing we can always count on from the ever-unpredictable Tim Heidecker, it's a wild ride of sonic experimentation and witty lyricism. His latest project, "High School," is no exception, offering a delightful mix of satirical commentary and catchy melodies.
From the infectious opening track, "Teacher Preacher," with its groovy guitar riffs and cheeky lyrics, to the haunting ballad "Detention Blues," Heidecker takes us on a journey through the trials and tribulations of adolescent life. The album's clear red vinyl pressing adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding listeners of the bygone era of mixtapes and school dances.
One of the standout tracks is "Prom Night Disaster," a perfect blend of heartbreak and humour, with Heidecker's signature deadpan delivery shining through. The fuzzy guitars on "Bully Beatdown" provide a rousing backdrop for Heidecker's biting social commentary, while the dreamy synths on "Summer Fling" transport us to a hazy summer night under the stars.
Overall, "High School" is a testament to Heidecker's versatility as a musician and storyteller. With its catchy hooks and clever wordplay, this album is sure to captivate both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. So grab your backpack, dust off your yearbook, and prepare to be schooled by the musical genius that is Tim Heidecker.

About the artist
Tim Heidecker
Tim Heidecker is not your average music artist - known primarily as one half of the comedy duo Tim & Eric, he has proven himself to be a creative force to be reckoned with in the music industry as well. His unique blend of deadpan humour and earnest songwriting has garnered him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. Heidecker's music often explores themes of absurdity and the mundane, with influences ranging from classic rock to indie folk. His lyrics are sharp and witty, often serving as satire or social commentary disguised in catchy melodies and infectious hooks. In 2016, Heidecker released his debut album "In Glendale," a collection of Americana-tinged tunes that showcased his knack for storytelling and penchant for dark humour. The album received widespread praise from critics, with Pitchfork describing it as "a masterclass in blending the absurd with the heartfelt." Heidecker's follow-up album, "Too Dumb For Suicide: Tim Heidecker’s Trump Songs," was released in 2017 and saw him take on the current political climate with his trademark wit and irreverence. The album's satirical take on the Trump presidency earned him both praise and backlash, while solidifying his reputation as a bold and boundary-pushing artist. With a discography that continues to surprise and delight, Tim Heidecker has established himself as a music artist who is unafraid to take risks and push the limits of his creativity. Whether he's poking fun at the absurdities of life or tackling weighty subjects with humour and grace, Heidecker's music is always a joy to experience. He is a true original in a sea of copycats, and we can't wait to see what he does next.
