INCUBUS BAND SUCKS FULL
But luckily it happened again for us, and we have an album full of music that we’re excited to share for people. We know that might be frustrating for our fans at times, but in order for us to make music that feels honest and sincere, we have to wait until that happens. At times I wish I could, but it has to feel genuine for all of us or it’s not going to work. We can’t really control the process like that. We genuinely don’t plan these things at all. We wait for that to happen, so that’s why it takes a bit longer maybe than it has in the past. We don’t want to do the same thing we’ve done a million times. When you’re making your eighth album, or your seventh album or your sixth album, we don’t want to repeat what we’ve already done. That’s why it takes us longer to make records. As we’ve gotten older, it’s gotten more challenging to find inspiration and to find the true motivation to be able to write music together as a band and do it from a place of honesty and sincerity. Our whole career has been a surprise.Īs far as it being fun or inspiring, that’s why things have slowed down, at least in recent years. Having a long career is something none of us could have planned, but all of us feel extremely fortunate. We were just a bunch of kids making music in a garage, like every other band that starts. None of us expected it in the first place. What do you think has allowed you to keep that up and was there a time where maybe that wasn’t as true?Īll of us can’t believe that we’re still able to be making music or have a career that has lasted this long.
Hearing you guys talk about this album, you get the sense you still genuinely enjoy making new music and recording albums, which is cool to see for a band that started all the way back in 1991. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Incubus guitarist, Mike Einziger, details the inside challenges making the band’s new album 8, why working with Skrillex proved instrumental in sparking the band, his career-long curiosity with creativity, and how advances in technology have impacted modern music.
