Brandon Boyd confirms Incubus has completed new album, set for October release.
In a recent interview with FluxFM, Brandon Boyd, the lead singer of Incubus, revealed that their highly anticipated ninth album is now “ready to go” and is most likely set for release in October. This forthcoming album will mark the band’s return to the music scene after an eight-year hiatus following the release of their last full-length LP, “8,” in 2017. Boyd mentioned, “We actually finished the album a little over two months ago. It’s mastered, it’s mixed, it’s just ready to go. We’re working on the artwork for it.”
Despite Boyd’s enthusiasm for their new project, he shared some reservations about releasing it given the current music landscape. He expressed, “The sad part about finishing the album in this day and age, is that I would love to put it out tomorrow, but it would get just lost in the shuffle of the internet.” The production of the album was overseen by their longtime collaborator Brendan O’Brien, and it introduces Nicole Row as the new bassist for the band.
Incubus fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from the band, and the announcement of their upcoming album being in its final stages of preparation has caused much excitement within their dedicated fan base. The anticipation for fresh material from the band is palpable, and Boyd’s statement regarding the imminent release date has only added to the fervor surrounding their return.
The North American leg of their much-anticipated Morning View + The Hits Tour is scheduled to kick off in June. This tour will provide a platform for the band to reconnect with their fans, showcasing their new music while also delivering beloved classics from their extensive discography. The tour promises to be a celebration of Incubus’s musical legacy and their continued relevance in the contemporary music scene.
Incubus’s ability to evolve their sound while maintaining the essence that has endeared them to fans for over two decades is a testament to their musical prowess and adaptability. Their capacity for creative innovation and sonic exploration has solidified their position as one of the most influential alternative rock bands of their generation.
As the release date for their new album draws near, fans can look forward to experiencing Incubus’s latest musical chapter, one that is sure to captivate and resonate with audiences old and new. With their trademark blend of introspective lyrics, infectious melodies, and dynamic instrumentals, Incubus is poised to deliver a record that will reaffirm their status as a powerhouse in the alternative rock genre.
