Twenty One Pilots — Clancy (CS)

Red Cassette Tape Clancy marks Twenty One Pilots’ (duo Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun) first studio album in three years and follows their RIAA Gold certified LP, Scaled And Icy. The first track released, “Overcompensate,” welcomes fans back to the band’s immersive world of Trench: Layers of synths build over a racing breakbeat in the song — a skilled passage of alternative dynamics, flexing in time, and ready to explode. Co-produced by Joseph and Paul Meany, Clancy marks the final chapter in an ambitious multi-album narrative first introduced in the band’s 2015 breakthrough, Blurryface. Released: 5/24/24
