Scaled and Icy is the sixth studio album by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots,[1] released on May 21, 2021, through Fueled by Ramen and Elektra.[2][3] Its title is a play on "scaled back and isolated", a phrase frontman Tyler Joseph associated with music produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, though the phrase is also an anagram of "Clancy is dead", a reference to the protagonist of the duo's fifth studio album, Trench (2018). The album received generally positive reviews from critics.
