We like playing the music, and the music is really fun to make, you know? And it’s satisfying when it comes out sounding really good. Davin and I are both very passionate about getting a good sound, and making the record sound good, and pretty, and having a good rhythm. First of all, musically, we care deeply about making good sounding music. Not a great mind writing these lyrics, maybe. It’s a great parody of this time period by making the lyrics as specific as possible in the broadest terms possible. But, after a few listens, you notice the, at times, ridiculous lyrics, or vice versa, as well where you notice the lyrics first. I feel like this album, and the first, you guys have done a great job of making the music catchy and fun, and you can enjoy it just for that. Kind of like, “What did we do?” Because you sometimes get so inside of it that you kind of think, “I wonder what this actually is?” It’s actually really good to hear these things, because very few people have heard this record, so I’m kind of vulnerable with it. You definitely accomplish that shifting of genres, but it’s not so far out of left field that it gets confusing or anything. A song like “Cocaine”, with the driving pianos, reminds me of the songs you did on the show with Pusswhip Banggang, and then a song like “This is the Life” has a Michael McDonald, Doobie Brothers vibe to it. It’s a little more eclectic, and a little more whatever genre fits the kind of songs I’m writing, and trying to see that through.

I like singing in that kind of voice, and just not worrying too much about what style we were going for, and not trying to stick into some kind of genre that we’ve created with the first record. The songs I was writing were a little heavier, so it’s more medium rock as opposed to soft rock. I think early on with this record, as we stuck a name on it, like, “ rock record.” let’s just open up a little bit. Yeah, we definitely didn’t want to get pigeon-holed as the guys who just do soft rock records, you know? We felt like we explored that, and we have a pretty wide palate of influences and kinds of music we like to make and like to play. This new album, Some Things Never Stay the Same, sounds really great.ĭid this album start out kind of like the first, Starting from Nowhere, where it was a collection of songs that you and Davin had been working on? Or was there a concerted effort to write a new album?

Recently, Heidecker took some time to sit down with CoS to discuss the new album, Some Things Never Remain the Same, his new secret album with Gregg Turkington (aka Neil Hamburger), and the process of recording albums on time constraints.

Outside of comedy, Heidecker has also recorded two full-length albums with longtime Tim and Eric musical collaborator, Davin Wood, under the Heidecker and Wood moniker (including 2011’s promising Starting From Nowhere). Since its conclusion, they’ve joined Reggie Watts, Sarah Silverman, and Michael Cera to create a YouTube channel called, JASH, where comedians can create shows, short films, songs, and basically whatever they want, which explains Tim’s Kitchen Tips, one of the best cooking shows online.

His Adult Swim gig with cohort Eric Wareheim, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, is a cult favorite, and contains some of the most uncomfortable moments allowed on television. Tim Heidecker is one of the more intriguing, versatile comedic minds of t0day.
