Incubus lead singer Brandon Boyd revealed via Instagram that the band has completed work on their new album, tentatively titled Something in the Water. Fans may recall the band first announced the album all the way back in April 2025 with the release scheduled for October 10th. Boyd has finally revealed the reason for the delay: the band went back into the studio to record more music. Thursday, Boyd took to Instagram to elucidate on this situation.
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. The ecstasies almost speak for themselves in the form of so many wonderful nights spent singing with so many of you around the world.
I’ll pop back in soon and update you on when new music will be ready to share. Sending you all so much love and hope and may this new year be one of continued transformation and celebration.
Happy New Year, Friends!
Presumably still titled Something in the Water, the album marks the first new music from the Calabasas quintet since 2020's EP, Trust Fall (Side B) and their first full-length album since 2017's 8, co-produced by dubstep pioneer Skrillex. It's also the first new music to feature new bassist Nicole Row, who previously toured with the band following the departure of Ben Kenney and recorded the bass parts on Morning View XXIII. No official word on a single or the album's release date.
Incubus's latest release, Trust Fall (Side B), is out now on Island Records.
