Vessel is the third studio album from American duo Twenty One Pilots which was released on January 8, 2013 through Fueled by Ramen. The album has been described as indie pop, pop rock, indietronica, and electropop, with influences from alternative rock, hip hop and emo. It is their first full-length release since being signed in 2012. In a fan-based interview, lead singer Tyler Joseph spoke on the meaning behind the album's name, saying that a vessel (our body) is an object carrying something far more important than the outer shell, and when we die, that is set free and lives on.
