Backstory
Schoolmates Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas and Chris Salih founded Twenty One Pilots in 2009 . The group released their debut album Twenty One Pilots . Both Thomas and Salih split from the band in 2011. Josh Dun soon joined the band. Joseph was friends with Dun for about a year. Joseph first saw Dun when he was playing a show with House of Heroes . Joseph said he "loved" the performance. In the same year the band released Regional at Best . In June, the duo played their first out-of-state show in front of a group of 12 people. The couple soon gained popularity through a series of videos filmed by friend Mark C. Eshleman. The band played their last show as an unsigned band at Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio in front of 1,800 people. The duo signed to Fueled by Ramen in 2012 .
production
The songs Ode to Sleep , Holding on You , Car Radio , Guns for Hands and Trees come from the previous album Regional at Best . [11] Joseph composed the album “ not knowing whether or not people were going to hear it ” (German: “ without knowing whether or not people would hear it ”).
Vessel was recorded at Rocket Carousel Studio in Los Angeles, California, where Greg Wells was producing. Wells provided additional synthesizers and keyboards . He also mixed the album while Ian McGregor helped with the recordings. The mastering was also carried out in Los Angeles by Howie Weinberg and Dan Gerbarg at Howie Weinberg Mastering .
The cover of the album shows the grandfathers of the duo's paternal side. The man on the left was Dun's grandfather, Earl Owen Dun, who died shortly after the album was released, and the man on the right is Joseph's grandfather, Robert O. "Bobby" Joseph, who died on March 17, 2018.
