If Not Now, When?

A patient, piano-led pivot toward romanticism and space. Gone are the heavy riffs, replaced by lush textures and Brandon Boyd’s most intimate vocal performances.

It’s Incubus at their most zen, trading the riffs for beautiful, late-night piano vibes.

A serene and mature exploration of intimacy and stillness that prioritizes atmosphere over aggression.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The psychedelic, seven-minute transformation of In the Company of Wolves from a folk ballad into a pulsing electronic soundscape.

The delicate piano melody that opens the title track, signaling a sharp departure from the band's usual guitar-heavy intros.

The way the drums finally kick in with a crisp, dry snap halfway through Adolescents.
