Because High School is a Tim Heidecker album, you’re always waiting for the punch line, or at least the moment when his earnestness crosses into parody. The twist here is that there isn’t really a twist—just 10 breezy, soft-rockish songs about the follies of adolescence and the bittersweet nostalgia that follows. Not that it isn’t funny: “Chillin’ in Alaska” ends with his cousin making a move on a girl before he can summon the nerve. The Kurt Vile-featuring “Sirens of Titan” mentions waterbeds not once but twice, but it also reflects on America’s decision to enter Iraq (“Should be an easy war to win, but you can never tell”) and how he was fiscally conservative until he went to college—flinty bits of reality that make the memories just a little uneasy. If he keeps this up, you might just call him a songwriter.
