The name of the album is an anagram, which states “Clancy is Dead” (ie “Clancy is dead” in French) [ Ref. desired] , and a mixture with the expression “reduced and isolated”, written by Tyler Joseph. On March 4, 2019, five months after the release of their fifth Studio Trench album, the group confirmed that they were working on their next studio album. Regarding the possible theme, Joseph said: “There is a character that we have not yet talked about on any record that plays a huge role in the story that we will obviously have to talk about and it is probably where we go then” . [ Ref. desired]

In November 2020, Josh Dun revealed that they were still working “at a distance” on the album, the two members being in different places. He describes the recording process: “We both have our own studios, which is really good, so he offers a lot of things in his studio, sends them to me, then I offer things here in my studio then I refers “. They started to teaser the new era of the group in January 2021. [ Ref. desired]

The music of Twenty One Pilots is often described as rock or alternative hip-hop [ 34 ] . In the United States, some fans even define their style as “schizophrenic pop” or “screamo ukulele” by the eclecticism of their musical inspirations [ 35 ] , [ 36 ] . The first three albums of the group are considered to be related to the post-emo genre (in) [ 37 ] , in the wake of groups like My Chemical Romance or Dashboard Confessional. The influence of hip-hop is much more marked from the album Blurryface (2015), which also brings pop, reggae, even dancehall or even breakbeat inspirations as on Lane Boy . Scaled and Icy (2021) introduces more standard tones for rock music, including rhythmic guitar or an electric guitar with a fuzz effect and a solo on Never Take It .

Inspired by several musical genres passing through electro, rock, pop, rap [ 40 ] , the folk [ 41 ] , at the funk [ 42 ] or Indie Pop, the lyricist and composer of the Tyler Joseph group mixes psychodramatic and introspective words with piano arrangements, hard rock energy or ballads in the ukulelele [ 43 ] . Joseph’s rap style is often compared to that of Macklemore [ 37 ] Eminem egg [ 39 ] .

The duo composes their music using instruments such as bass, ukulele, piano and battery. Unusual for so -called rock training, the guitar is replaced by the synthesizer: software and keyboards produce programmed electronic sounds in place of Riffs [ 37 ] . Regarding percussion, Josh Dun operates with a PAD percussion but his recognition is mainly due to his vitality behind his battery. They notably use a MacBook Pro from the stage from which they launch their creations, montages and other musical accompaniments, using software like Main Stage and Logic Pro. [Ref. necessary]

Karl Hagstrom Miller, Professor in History and Musicology at the University of Virginia in the United States, quotes Twenty One Pilots as a characteristic example of the evolution of modern groups by going from traditional training guitar-Bassery of punk music -Rock to “other configurations of musical collaboration” [ 37 ] .
