Twenty One Pilots have ushered in the holiday season with a “cosy”, new 10 hour mix of reworked tracks from their back catalogue. The seamless mix of music incorporates gentle arrangements of songs across the band’s five studio albums, from hits including ‘Stressed Out’ and ‘Tear In My Heart’ from 2015’s ‘Blurryface’, to deeper cuts, including ‘Trees’ from 2013’s ‘Vessel’.Set to the looping mix is a Yule Log-inspired animated visual, depicting the band’s mascot, Ned, sleeping on an armchair beside a fireplace.
Small, random events take place across the 10-hour visual, such as the band’s music videos, including those of ‘Chlorine’ and ‘Jumpsuit’, playing on the computer monitor on the right side of the frame.More eagle-eyed fans have spotted messages written on notes pasted on the wall beside the monitor, which have yet to be deciphered.Watch the video, entitled ‘Ned’s Cozy Fireplace’, below:The new mix is the band’s latest release following the album cycle supporting their 2021 full-length, ‘Scaled and Icy’, which concluded on New Year’s day this year. In a statement posted to Instagram, frontman Tyler Joseph stated that though ‘Scaled and Icy’ was produced against the uncertainty of performing live, the songs gained their fullest form when they finally returned to touring.“71 shows and 14 countries later, ‘Scaled And Icy’ became something different,” he wrote.
“The lyrics meant something different, something more, the colours found their purpose, the chords rubbed together differently. The record came to life.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic You won’t even have to already love Wilco to find joy in the experience of reading Jeff Tweedy’s new book, “World Within a Song: Music That Changed My Life and Life That Changed My Music” — although nothing about coming in as a fan will exactly hurt. His tales about how dozens of pieces of (mostly) pop and rock music have hit him in a personal way over the decades is full of anecdotal pleasures that get at more universal truths about how we’re shaped by art… or, alternately, just illustrate a funny story Tweedy neglected to include in his previous books, the music memoir “Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back)” and the instructional “How to Write One Song.” The book includes his thoughts on youthful favorites he remains unabashed about into his adulthood, like “Smoke on the Water,” “Takin’ Care of Business” and “My Sharona,” adult fare that rewarded more mature readings, like Randy Newman’s “In Germany Before the War,” and songs as disparate as the Replacements’ “God Damn Job,” Wings’ “Mull of Kintyre,” Rosalia’s “Bizcochito” and “You Are My Sunshine.” Variety caught up with Tweedy on the road between stops on Wilco’s fall tour supporting the band’s recent “Cousin” album, following a solo tour in the summer of 2023.
