In a statement, Heidecker calls the song “about as ‘Dead’ as I get,” and the accompany music video with Heidecker, Mering, and the band was shot at Valentine Studios in LA. But if any album shifted the Heidecker Window, it was 2020’s Fear of Death, an anxiety-ridden record for an anxiety-ridden year, arriving near the height of the pandemic’s second wave and just. “I don’t see the value in having fun/ I think I’m done growing/ Fear of death is keeping me alive,” Heidecker sings over a jauntily psychedelic folk-rock groove.

He recorded Fear Of Death with an all-star cast of musicians included Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, Drew Erickson, the Lemon Twigs’ Brian and Michael D’Addario, and Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado, with Spacebomb’s Trey Pollard providing string arrangements. “It took a minute for me to stand back and look at what I was talking about to realize that, yes, I am now a middle-aged man and my subconscious is screaming at me: ‘You are getting old, dude! You are not going to live forever! Put down that cheeseburger!’” “I didn’t know that this record was going to be so focused on death when I was writing it,” Heidecker explains. But for his new one - the newly announced Fear Of Death, out next month via Spacebomb - he’s leaving the satire and absurdity behind and getting deadly serious. His most recent album, last year’s What The Brokenhearted Do…, was a fake breakup album.
