Twenty One Pilots Drummer Josh Dun Steps Behind the Camera For ‘Backslide’ Video
Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun made directorial debut in the video for the third 'Clancy' single 'Backslide,' which debuted Thursday (April 25).
Given the deep and sometimes confounding world-building the pair embark on for their album cycles you can be sure there are some important Easter eggs scattered all about, from the name of the quick-e-mart (Food Petrol Etc aka FPE), to the bun brand (Ned’s) and the colors of the bicycle. Not much else happens, other than a Stranger Things-style segment where Joseph appears to be transported to an alternate, dark universe where he rides his bike in a black void amid swirling leaves as well as a quick stop a child’s lemonade stand where the seemingly possessed grade schooler chants lyrics back to the singer. The bike trip ends with Joseph pulling up to Dun’s house as the drummer flips burgers on a grill, only to realize he’s out of buns and has to return to FPE to get another bag as the visual swallows its own tail and goes back to the beginning.
