After pondering earlier this year that twenty one pilots will probably release a new album sooner than planned, frontman Tyler Joseph has revealed that he's working on the record – the follow-up to 2018's Trench – right now.
Taking to his Instagram stories in a super-short new video update, Tyler simply quickly teased, “I'm working on the album,” typically giving no other information than that.
On November 12, in a new video interview with Josh Dun (see below), the drummer explained that the pair are working remotely on new music, given that they both live in different locations – Josh in Los Angeles, Tyler in the band's native Ohio – with the nature of their creative relationship meaning that things maybe take a bit longer than other bands.
“It really is me and Tyler working on this,” Josh says. “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.”
