    Heidecker has shown his musical chops in bits of some of the comedy shows he's created with Eric Wareheim, and in two phenomenal records with Davin Wood (as Heidecker & Wood).

    Heidecker has been releasing music for the past eight years in various forms, but it’s a blast to see him strike out on his own and create an album that is sharp, insightful, and often hysterical.
