Apparently new music is coming in twos on this Wednesday.
After a year of silence, twenty one pilots returned today with two new songs, "Jumpsuit" and "Nico and the Niners." It's the first preview of the duo's upcoming album Trench, which will be released on Oct. 5.
The band, made up of singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun, had been laying low for much of the last 12 months, following their Best Pop Duo/Group Performance win at last year's Grammy Awards, which they accepted in their underwear.
"Jumpsuit," which is a bit grittier than the reggae-infused "Nico," is accompanied by a video, also released today. It was directed by the pair's frequent collaborator Andrew Donoho.
As if the music and album news wasn't enough, twenty one pilots has already confirmed plans for a world tour in support of the new album, the followup to 2015's Blurryface.
