CHECK OUT INCUBUS ON THE FORTHCOMING STEALTH SOUNDTRACK!
Incubus will have three new songs featured in the action-thriller, Stealth, from Sony Pictures due out this summer starring Jamie Foxx, Josh Lucas and Jessica Biel!  Director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious and XXX) personally chose Incubus for the soundtrack, which will be released July 12 prior to the movie's July 29 premiere.

Working with renowned producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Korn, Rage Against the Machine) this spring, Incubus recorded "Admiration," "Neither of Us Can See" and "Make a Move," the soundtrack's first single. Featured in the trailer for Stealth — which will premiere May 18 and play before the new Star Wars movie — "Make a Move" finds Incubus in classic form. "We don't write new music on the road so we hadn't written a shred of new music before we got together for these songs," says Brandon. "We wrote the first song 'Make a Move' really quickly. It's fun and bouncy, but still thoughtful. It reminds me of some of our older songs."

"Neither of Us Can See," a duet with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chrissie Hynde, will play over the movie's closing credits. The inspiration to use two singers — this is Brandon's first duet — came early in the writing process. "When we were conceptualizing the song, it became obvious that we needed two voices to capture the different facets of this song," Brandon says. "Chrissie came in and added another dimension to the song."

Prior to the Stealth soundtrack, Incubus had never written songs specifically for a soundtrack. The experience gave the band a new perspective on songwriting. "We're used to writing a song that brings the thoughts and images in your head to life," Brandon explains. "Writing for a very specific scene is tricky because you want to come up with thoughtful lyrics that touch on the movie but don't come off cheesy. For me, the perfect soundtrack song is Queen's "Princes of the Universe" from the original Highlander movie. That song becomes such an integral part of the scene and makes the moment more powerful."
