I’ve also been painting and reading a bunch. Not being able to surf, I have been bonding with one of my older acoustic guitars.
It’s interesting how music can feel relevant during something it was never really intended to relate to. It was obviously written before any of this happened. Music has certainly helped a lot and I am finding your new record, Trust Fall Side B is a collection of music that is really pairing nicely with the here and now. At first the days were painstakingly slow and then the days started speeding up considerably. So, everything considered, I am doing well. The fact that I have a safe and comfortable place to be in during this lock-down is more than I can ask for. It’s such strange circumstances that we all live in right now. How are you doing, how is quarantine-life going for you? For Incubus collectively, and Boyd as a writer on this new EP, this process was one of “Paper Cuts” and much love. Throughout our conversation, we surf the wave of self-expression and dig deep into the different pleasures of artistically pouring yourself into the various platforms you dig up. Speaking of which, throughout my recent interview with Boyd via our Instagram Live Series, the sweet sounds of birds chirped in the background, perfectly accenting our conversation and the sunlight feeling of having new music from a band like Incubus during this time of much uncertainty. It’s appropriate the band now has two different releases under a moniker of Trust Fall. It’s all about the little things – the intricate touches that make Incubus the band they have been for almost three decades – that ultimately pairs with the moments of your life that result in a refreshing breath of fresh air. Then, at the three minute, fifty-second mark, there’s a signature Boyd “Wish You Were Here”-esque shout, that injects the ocean waves right into your body, allowing you to truly unfurl into a sea of Incubus melody. Water’s fine, every time, where we unfurl.” Brandon Boyd sings, two minutes and forty-seven seconds into “Karma, Come Back”, the opening track off Incubus‘ new EP Trust Fall Side B (released April 17th).
