Incubus Release Details Of New Album 'If Not Now, When?’

Monday, 18 April 2011 Written by James Conlon


Incubus have confirmed the tracklisting for their upcoming seventh studio album, ‘If Not Now, When?’, giving a lengthy statement about the tone and intent of the record. The band have been working on the follow-up to 2006’s acclaimed release, ‘Light Grenade’, and have described the new album as “Something unique, both to the world and to us as a band”

Lead singer Brandon Boyd posted an extended statement about the new release on the band’s website this week, talking about the main themes behind the new LP.

He said: “By about three songs into the writing process, I think we began to understand that we were unearthing something new. And excitedly, we began chasing that new rabbit as far down, around and into the wormhole as it led us. At a certain point amongst all of this creative wandering we began to understand quite clearly that certain creative mantras were reemerging. Both consciously and unconsciously. Words like, 'economy', 'elegance', 'space', and 'restraint' kept creeping back into our many conversations.”

Boyd continued: “Words we had toyed with in the past, but never so deliberately and never so confidently. 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.”

Although no release date has been confirmed yet, it is believed that the album will be released this summer. Boyd also confirmed that the first track to be released from ‘If Not Now, When?’ will be a track entitled ‘Adolescents’. He described the song as “perhaps the most familiar sounding Incubus song on this new album. It begins with Michael's unmistakable and inimitable guitar work and rolls its way into a kind of drunken waltz.”
