Josh Dun of the twenty-one drivers on their new album and the time that passes away from the star – Kerrang!

Twenty-one drummer Josh Dun gave his first interview since the return of the Ohio duo this week, where they announced the details of the new album, Trench, on October 5, two singles, a video and a huge world Tour.

Speaking on Beats 1 phone, he touched on a number of topics, including why the duo chose to put singles Jumpsuit and Nico And The Niners first, and why they really needed all that free time.

"We had in-depth conversations about all our songs and where they are, and what order for people to listen to things," Josh said of the singles. "We agreed for Jumpsuit and Nico, that these two were really a good bridge that came from the last album, Blurryface."

He added: "I feel like having something that really links the two albums together and that really looked like a natural progression compared to what it was previously made sense .. Not to say that the rest of the album looks very different, but the one I think of us, really felt like the most connection. "

Comparing the new disc to previous versions , Vessel and Blurryface, Josh said, "With our previous two albums, there was a place to write, whether it was personal things in life, or thoughts, or simply emotional or spiritual journeys."

"I think in this one, there's a place to write, and I think it's coming off a bit of that [of Blurryface] and still learning about that character, but a little bit more in that." history, if it makes sense? "

The stickman also talked about how much time away from the ved This was very necessary for the duo who were returning home at the back of a whirlwind a few years.

"I think the way we looked at it was just kind of a period of intentional silence, which happened for a lot of reasons," he said. "One of them was coming out of a long tour that, realistically, was probably five or six years of non-stop travel.Next, the thing GRAMMY was crazy and it was a very big year, or a few years for us. "

" During the time we were creating and working, we just wanted to take a step back and be present in this world, and not bother people with things that are not as important as the content we're working on. "

And he also shared his joy that many fans stayed and were so excited for the group's return (well, hey!). "It seems that there are people who have stayed, which is really cool," he said. "These are the people we want around and these are the people who mean a ton to us. "
