Regional at Best: Difference between revisions

In 2010 Tyler again starts to work a lot on new music at home or with the band in their studio. Thus in March - April 2010 [[Slowtown]] and [[Car Radio]] was recorded. Probably the video in the basement of the band from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEFzBielBjE&t=1s Live Highlights] is a recording session for new tunes, including this songs. But eventually the band decided that if recording live instruments is too complicated and they will do all new material only on MacBook, and almost all new music was written only by Tyler himself.

By the end of 2010 in August-September, ''Tyler Joseph'' was imagining and recording a song that he had dreamed of. It became one of the strangest and most unusual song in terms of structure. The song was nameless for a while, and according to Tyler's commentary in [[Vessel (Commentary Version)]], with the help of fans, the name of the song was found - [[Ode To Sleep]].

From the beginning of 2011 Tyler started to work a lot more on the new record, recording many songs throughout the time before the album itself. From late 2010 to April 2011 several songs were recorded: [[Ruby]], [[Holding On To You]] and [[Glowing Eyes]]. On April 1st, 2011 the band sends out a newsletter to subscribed fans, where they reveal the title of the new album and mention these songs.
