Brandon Boyd Gives Update On Delayed Incubus Album

It’s been nine years since Incubus handed off a new album to their fans with ‘8’ in 2017, and when word had it last year that the band would be issuing something in October, there was a cry of ‘it’s about time!’  But it wasn’t to be as Brandon Boyd mentions in a new Instagram post that he felt a lot of emotions in 2025 and wanted to update the material they had been working on.  With that change of heart, Incubus delayed the album and let the year run out without explanation.  With a new year comes a new post from Boyd.

“I’m thinking back on the year 2025 and I’m almost dizzy from its oscillations between agony and ecstasy. For some reason I sense many of you had similar experiences in 2025. The agonies have given rise to so much new art though, as soon to be demonstrated in our recently completed (again) new album. It’s a long story but we went back into the studio to write and record more after thinking we were done.”

We’ll keep an ear out for news on the album and any singles that will be coming out as the year progresses.  There’s no hint yet as to how it sounds but perhaps Incubus have changed in this last decade and have fresh sounds, styles, and lyrics for 2026.
