Slipping Away is a 2024 studio album by comedian and folk rock musician Tim Heidecker. The album was released by Bloodshot Records and received positive reviews from critics.[1][2]
Background
Following the release of 2022's High School, Heidecker set out to release a "100% earnest" album reflecting his experiences with aging, personal anxiety and fatherhood. The track "Hey, Would You Call My Mom For Me?" was inspired by a real interaction Heidecker had with a young man suffering from addiction in Vancouver.[3]
Release
On July 9, 2024, Heidecker released the single "Well's Running Dry", accompanied with a music video and an announcement for a new album titled Slipping Away.[4] A second promotional single, "Like I Do", was released on August 12, 2024.[5] On September 16, 2024, a third promotional single, "Dad of the Year", was released with an accompanying music video.[6] The album was released on October 18, 2024.
Critical reception
Slipping Away received generally positive reviews. In a review for Northern Transmissions, Greg Walker complimented the earnestness of the songwriting, noting Heidecker's ability to subtly infuse humour into his lyrics without them losing meaning.[1]
