Twenty One Pilots - Trench

Following the global phenomenon of Blurryface—an album that sold over 7 million copies and earned the duo their first Grammy—Twenty One Pilots returned in 2018 with their most ambitious project to date. Trench is the highly anticipated next chapter in the story of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, moving away from the pop-heavy hooks of their predecessor to build a complex, immersive concept world. Produced by Joseph alongside Paul Meany (Mutemath), the album is a masterclass in "candid expression," blending alternative rock, reggae-inflected basslines, and dark electronic textures.

This double-LP vinyl pressing, released via Fueled By Ramen, is the definitive way to experience the album's intricate production. From the "pulsating grit" of the lead single "Jumpsuit" to the "soul-baring" vulnerability of "Neon Gravestones," Trench is a record that rewards deep listening. It successfully cemented the band's place as one of the largest in the world by proving they weren't afraid to evolve, trading radio-friendly polish for "genuine identity" and a world-building narrative centered on the fictional city of Dema.
