Heidecker & Wood (Tim Heidecker and Davin Wood) are on the lam, but before they high-tailed it out of here, they created a document of what it’s like when real studio musicians come together and record a classic song. Esquire, in conjunction with Jash – Tim’s new Youtube channel with cohorts Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts, and Michael Cera – has premiered the video for “Getaway Man,” the honest firsthand account of the glamorous lives of robbery getaway men. In the classic style of the bygone Laurel Canyon songwriter golden age, the video offers viewers a sneak peak into the ROCK N’ ROLL STUDIO, where lightening is regularly bottled. And in the not-so-classic style of the current not-so-golden-age, the video has some piracy warnings, closed captions, and other important announcements for the viewer to take note of. Some Things Never Stay The Same is outNov. 12th on Little Record CompanyGo to Esquire to watch the video and read Tim’s interviewAs Esquire says, “The album cut ‘Getaway Man,’ with its slightly warped take on the era’s gently rocking riffage and session-player precision, gives a good general idea of what Some Things has going on.”

MORE ON HEIDECKER & WOOD:

Heidecker & Wood are comedian/writer/actor Tim Heidecker (“Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!,” “Tim and Eric Billion Dollar Movie,” “The Comedy,” “Bridesmaids”) and his longtime musical collaborator composer/multi-instrumentalist Davin Wood (“Awesome Show,” “Billion Dollar Movie”).
Some Things Never Stay The Same, their self-indulgent sophomore album, expands upon their debut’s blueprint of classic AM radio melodies and intentional/unintentional laughs with a little more of everything — the horns, the female back-up singers, the songs about life on the road and redemption for indiscretions. It’s, in turn, pompous, funny, overproduced, underbaked, overly serious and not serious enough. All in a good way, of course! But really, there’s much more to this album than simple genre goofs — it’s an ode to the heyday of the great 70s songwriters/studio rats, chock full of catchy hooks and unabashed ringers with some of LA’s best musicians, including two cameos by Aimee Mann, guitar and vocal work from Eric Johnson (The Shins, Fruit Bats), and top-notch performances by Pierre de Reeder (Rilo Kiley) and others.
