It’s been well over two years since twenty one pilots released their last full-length album Trench. Since then,Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have put out their chart-topping single “Level Of Concern” and an original Christmas song “Christmas Saves The Year.”
Over the course of 2020, twenty one pilots shared quite a few details regarding their next album. In May, Joseph told Zane Lowe that the duo has pushed up their album plans amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“I’m writing a record right now,” Joseph said at the time. “I’m not sure when it’ll be released. But it’s definitely going to be sooner than we were planning on releasing a record.”

More recently, Joseph gave an update in mid-November with a brief video on his Instagram Story where he shared a simple, “I’m working on the album.” No specific release timeline or details have been revealed just yet, but that hasn’t stopped fans from theorizing their own.
Then, last month, the duo really sent fans into a theory frenzy when they updated their social media headers. Joseph and Dun said goodbye to the Trench era yellow and hello to a hazy orange in a new image.

As we know, twenty one pilots associate one strong color with each of their albums. 2015’s Blurryface is associated with red while the Trench era is known for its distinct yellow. Seeing as the header image is orange, a color that twenty one pilots haven’t used before, fans think this may be a clue about their next era.

As well, many noticed that the cryptic blue symbol is actually a PSI symbol that stands for the psyche. The symbol even made an appearance in Dema, further linking the former era with the upcoming era.
Ψ as in the greek letter psi as in psyche as in the mind. as in the symbol for the psychology, for the apa…for the field & the organizations dedicated to solving and treating problems of the mind. “a message of unity, truth, and rebellion against the oppressive forces of dema” pic.twitter.com/iazBOgpfMq

Another fan even spotted a coincidence on the album artwork for twenty one pilots’ recent Christmas song. If you zoom in closely, the three capital letters on the wrapping paper are “S,” “I” and “P” which spell “PSI” when rearranged.
