Data Insight

Tyler Joseph wrote all of Breach and self-produced it with Paul Meany and Mike Elizondo, the same production circle that has shaped the band's recent records. Released in September 2025 after the Dema narrative concluded on Clancy, the album moves past that storyline while still drawing on Joseph's rap-and-sing approach across alternative rock, electropop, and hip hop textures. Josh Dun's drums remain central, with drum engineering credited to Unnus Latif on this release.

Twenty One Pilots' eighth studio album, released in 2025. Co-produced primarily by Tyler Joseph and Paul Meany, with Mike Elizondo co-producing tracks 4 and 7. The 13-track standard edition features the most diverse set of co-writers in the band's catalog, tracks 5, 7, 8, 10, and 12 each carry additional writing credits beyond Tyler Joseph. Track 5, 'The Contract,' features co-writing by Dominic Richard Harrison (YUNGBLUD) and Matt Schwartz. Track 7, 'Robot Voices,' has six additional co-writers. Producers Wzrd Bld (Drew Fulk) and Risc are credited on individual tracks.
