“Success is a devilish opiate. A swift and heady drink that goes down smooth at first, and then starts to burn your throat and rattle your bones. Only to leave crater sized holes in your constitution the next day.”, says Brendan Boyd and he knows exactly what he’s talking about. As a front man with INCUBUS he released in the past 15 years 5 studio albums, selling up to 15 million copies. 8th July will be the date when the new album comes out, five long years after the number 1 record ‘Light Grenades’. For their latest body of work the band re-engaged renowned producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Bob Dylan).
Brendan Boyd sums up the process of creation, the content, and the motivation behind the new INCUBUS album like that: “Sprinkle into this caldron a dash of whimsy and a pinch of psychedelia, let it stew in the recording studio for a couple of months and you get this: 'If Not Now, When?’ Our unabashed, romantic, lush, sonic love letter to the world. It's darker, slower, more rich, more refined, and more involved than anything Incubus has birthed to date. And I am so happy to share it with all of you. This entire time, Incubus has essentially been searching for a sense of balance between all of the possibilities inherent in crafting a song. I do believe that for many years now we have been searching for something different. Something unique, both to the world and to us as a band. We decided that 'If Not Now, When?’ our 6th full length studio album would be just that.”
