On December 19, 2016, alt-pop band twenty one pilots teamed up with rock group MUTEMATH to recreate five of TOP's most popular songs, all recorded live, streamed through their website, and made available for free download. And it's the best thing to happen to their fans in months.
The new, edgy twists on songs "Heathens," "Heavydirtysoul," "Ride" "Tear in my Heart," and "Lane Boy," provide a fresh take on the band's more well-known tracks, all featuring MUTEMATH with back up vocals and instrumentals. The 25-minute video, subtitled, "The MUTEMATH Sessions," also provides a sneak peak into the recording process with the two bands as they meshed their different sounds into one, creating an epic final production.
The two bands meshed perfectly, recreating and stylizing the TOP hits in a way that intrigues even the most well-versed fans. From vocals sung in different keys to introducing entirely knew instruments, the songs are truly new, unique, and captivating.
