Last month, both Josh and frontman Tyler Joseph confirmed that a new twenty one pilots album was in the works.
“It really is me and Tyler working on this,” Josh said. “I think it probably takes longer than some artists coming out with albums because we don’t have other people really helping us. And, also, logistically, we’re in different places. We both have our own studios, which is really nice, so he comes up with a lot of stuff at his studio, sends it over to me, and then I come up with some stuff here at my studio and then send it back.”
Tyler told AltPress earlier this year that there are “two very different records” that he could make, adding that he “isn’t interested in reacting” to what’s going on in the world.
“There are two very different records, in my opinion, to be written,” he considered. “One being right now and the other one being after that. I don’t know which one I’m going to do first. I have an idea of what I think is next, sonically. It’s just whether or not it’s too big of a risk, I guess.”
