WHETHER IT'S the jingoist sendup "Our Values Are Under Attack" from web series Decker or the bizarre and indelible Cinco jingles from the Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! universe, music has long been an important pillar of Tim Heidecker's Kafka-esque comedy.
The comedian and musician's first "real" musical release was 2011's Starting from Nowhere, a collaboration with Awesome Show composer Davin Wood that confused listeners with its subtle ironic humor and straight-faced yacht-rock references (remember, this was a pre-Mac DeMarco world). Follow-up Some Things Never Stay the Same was a more explicit parody (see lead single "Cocaine," which is thematically identical to Eric Clapton's "Cocaine").
Heidecker's new record, InGlendale, borrows from a familiar pool of influences—'70s soft rockers like Bread, Steely Dan, Warren Zevon, and Randy Newman—but unlike the Heidecker & Wood records, it isn't intended to be funny.
