Columbus based duo twenty | one | pilots was named one of MTV Buzzworthy's Artists to Watch in 2013, and upon listening to their major label debut "Vessel" it's pretty darn easy to see why. It opens with the track 'Ode To Sleep', which definitely makes listeners want to do anything but hit the hay with its bass beats, upbeat synth and hip hop influences artfully woven throughout. The track is the perfect intro to an album that is a perfect mainstream introduction to the band...

Release Date: January 8th, 2013 To start off this review, I think I'll ask a hypothetical question. Have you ever listened to a band, liked them, and then kind of forgot about them? That's how I was with Ohio indie duo Twenty One Pilots. In late 2011, a friend of mine posted a music video by them on her Facebook wall and I checked it out.

This review originally ran in AP 295. The major-label debut by twenty | one | pilots traipses across electro-pop, hip-hop and classic pop music--and that's just the first song. In the first two minutes of "Ode To Sleep," the Columbus, Ohio, duo set the listener up with some eerie electronica, punched up by vocalist/keyboardist Tyler Joseph's staccato rapping style, before launching into some breezy piano-pop that will make Ben Folds fans curl their toes...
