twenty one pilots may have trolled us all with ‘new’ music
earlier this year, but for those who do want something you can actually
hear, Tyler Joseph is on Switchfoot’s new The Beautiful Letdown deluxe edition album.
The singer has covered the 2003 record’s beautiful Twenty-Four,
and done a stunningly faithful rendition. It arrives shortly after Switchfoot’s
Jon Foreman took to social media to cover Stressed Out, and
share the story of first meeting twenty one pilots, which was “after an outdoor
show that we played with them during a blizzard in Philadelphia”.
“Funny: playing outside in a blizzard wasn’t nearly as memorable
as watching them perform live for the first time,” Jon wrote. “From that moment
on, I’ve been a fan – cheering them on from the West Coast, hearing their
idiosyncratic tunes take over the radio waves of stations around the world.
“Can’t wait for you to hear Tyler Joseph’s take on our tune Twenty-Four
later this week – All love and respect to Tyler and Josh, long live twenty one
pilots.”
