In ‘What The Brokenhearted Do…’ musician and comedian, Tim Heidecker, puts on a masterclass in emotional empathy. Following a string of political left leaning albums, including 2018’s ‘Another Year In Hell: Collected Songs from 2018‘ and 2017’s ‘Too Dumb for Suicide’, some right-wing internet trolls started spreading a rumor that Heideckers wife was leaving him.
In response, Heidecker wrote his divorce album. And while lyrically it’s a real bummer, the songs have this late 70’s soft rock vibe that is just so listenable and enjoyable. And if you’ve ever been dumped, you’ll find something to relate to. A real treat.
