You'll have to wait an extra week to hear Twenty One Pilots' new Clancy album.
The "Stressed Out" duo has announced that the upcoming record will now arrive May 24 instead of its originally announced May 17 release date.
In a Facebook post, frontman Tyler Joseph explains that the delay is due to his previously announced plan to film a video for each song off of Clancy.
"When I first told [drummer] Josh [Dun] and ... everyone on our team that I wanted to do a music video for every song on the album Clancy that's coming up, I told them it's because I love these songs and I believe in them enough to pretend to sing in front of a camera to each one," Joseph explains. "That's what we're gonna do, that's how I want to present this album."
"In order to accomplish that, we need a little bit more time," he continues. "Just a little more time."
Clancy includes the lead single, "Overcompensate." It's the follow-up to 2021's Scaled and Icy.
Twenty One Pilots will launch a U.S. tour in August.
Paramore's Hayley Williams has shared a batch of brief album reviews for records that are "keeping my company right now," including Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department and Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter.
Of Tortured Poets, Williams writes, "Had me from the storytelling alone, my friend."
"Every one of us knows this kind of grief!" Williams continues. "It's so impressive to me how specific and colorful Taylor's words get without ever losing the universal thread."
"I'm so ready to be tour-mates," she adds. Paramore will be supporting the upcoming European leg of Swift's Eras Tour, kicking off in May.
As for Cowboy Carter, Williams says, "I cry at the same part of 'American Requiem,' every time."
"When Beyoncé sings 'If you ain't got no grits get the f*** up out the south' [on 'Ya Ya'], I feel the kind of southern pride that exists -- subversively -- amongst hatred and fear," she adds.
Williams also gives a shoutout to albums by Radiohead, The Smile and Brittany Howard. You can check out her reviews via her Instagram Story.

Hozier's "Too Sweet" chart success is almost too much for him to handle.
Following news that the viral single hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — a career first for Hozier — the "Take Me to Church" artist has taken to Facebook to offer a "huge thank you for all the incredible support from around the world."
With "Too Sweet," Hozier becomes the first Irish artist to lead the Hot 100 since the late Sinéad O’Connor did in 1990 with her version of "Nothing Compares 2 U." It's also reached #1 in Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
"I've been both thrilled and taken massively by surprise by such a staggering reaction," Hozier writes. "It means the world that you're enjoying this song so much. Thank you all so much."
"Too Sweet" is a track off Hozier's new Unheard EP, which was released in March. It includes songs originally recorded during the sessions for Hozier's latest album, 2023's Unreal Unearth.
Royal Blood is revisiting the early days of the band with a new video capturing a rehearsal for the song "Blood Hands."
The black-and-white clip, posted to the duo's Instagram, shows frontman Mike Kerr sitting at a piano and working through lyrics while drummer Ben Thatcher tries out a beat.
"First of many throwbacks to the making of Royal Blood," the caption reads, suggesting we might be getting more behind-the-scenes clips of the band's beginning.
"Blood Hands" appears on Royal Blood's 2014 self-titled debut album, which turns 10 in August. A deluxe reissue will be released on August 16, and Royal Blood will be playing a run of anniversary shows in Europe in June and July.
You can also catch Royal Blood playing the U.S. in May on a mix of headlining shows, festival sets and dates opening for Queens of the Stone Age.
Eddie Vedder's never been one to shy away from his political opinions, and that continues with Pearl Jam's latest album, Dark Matter.
In an interview with the U.K.'s The Sunday Times, Vedder shares that the song "Wreckage" deals with his feelings on former president Donald Trump.
"There is a guy in the United States who is still saying he didn't lose an election, and people are reverberating and amplifying that message as if it is true," Vedder says. "Trump is desperate. I don't think there has ever been a candidate more desperate to win, just to keep himself out of prison and to avoid bankruptcy."
Referring to the various legal cases against Trump, Vedder adds, "It is all on the line, and he's out there playing the victim — at least they're doing this to me, because if not they would be doing it to you — but you haven't falsified your tax records."
"You don't have classified information in your basement," he continues. "So the song is saying, let's not be driven apart by one person, especially not a person without any worthy causes."
Dark Matter is out now. Pearl Jam will launch a U.S. tour in May.
Noah Weiland has released a new song called "Time Will Tell" featuring guest vocals from his late father, Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland, amid a threat from an alleged leaker.
In an Instagram post, Noah writes, "Can't believe I'm saying this right now but basically [I've] been getting blackmailed by a random number that somehow has a very old version of a song I have with my father."
"Because of that I am basically forced to release a song I had no intentions of releasing until way further into my career cause this coward [really] thinks I'm about to send them $2k to not leak it," he continues. "Sooo, I beat em to the punch."
Noah also includes screenshots of the alleged extortion attempt in the post.
"Funny enough, I saw 'TIME WILL TELL' written on a bathroom wall the day I got that [text]," Noah adds. "Maybe my dad thought it was time?"
You can listen to "Time Will Tell" streaming now on YouTube.
