Scaled and Icy is the upcoming sixth studio album by American duo, Twenty One Pilots.[1] The album is scheduled for release on May 21, 2021, through Fueled by Ramen and Elektra.[2][3] The album's title is an anagram of "Clancy is Dead", a reference to the protagonist of their previous album, Trench.[4]

Background and production

On March 4, 2019, five months after the release of their fifth studio album Trench, the band confirmed that they were working on their next studio album.[5] About the possible theme, frontman Tyler Joseph said, "there's a character that hasn't been talked about on any record yet that plays a huge role in the narrative that obviously will need to be talked about and it's probably where we're going next".[6] On April 9, 2020, the duo released the song "Level of Concern", which marked the first musical output by the duo since the release of Trench. The song encourages the listener to keep hope during hard times, specifically talking about the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] In a May 2020 interview with Zane Lowe, Joseph expressed uncertainty as to whether their next album would continue Trench's narrative or would be an "in-between record", explaining: "It's kind of hard for me to tap into the story of Trench and what we've been building on up until that point without being out there, without touring, without having those live shows, without interacting with our fans."[8]

In November 2020, Josh Dun revealed that they were still working "remotely" on the album, with both members being in different locations during the time. He describes the recording process, "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".[9]

Release and promotion

The duo began teasing the era in January 2021 by updating their social media headers with an orange-tinged photo of the duo in an empty venue, the band's Trench era logo placed between them.[10] The following month, Joseph posted a selfie to his Instagram story featuring a blue psi symbol over his right eye.[11] On April 2, 2021, a progress bar appeared on dmaorg.info—a website the band uses to share background stories and lore—which appeared to be deleting files. When the progress bar timed out three days later, three posters appeared on the page announcing a new album titled Scaled and Icy and a "Livestream Experience" scheduled for May 21, 2021.[12][13] The lead single "Shy Away" premiered on BBC Radio 1 on April 7, with a music video being released shortly after alongside an official album announcement on the band's social media.[14][13]
