Incubus Hits Home After
living together in a rented house while recording 2001’s
Morning View, the members of Incubus decided to branch out for
their follow-up album. The band members slept at home but recorded
at guitarist Mike Einziger’s house. “We didn’t
want to go to a rehearsal studio, so I sacrificed my living room
for rock and roll,” Einziger said before a recent concert. “It
was really fun, actually. I had an entire band’s worth of
equipment in my living room that I could play with all the time.” Incubus
was so excited to be recording A Crow Left of the Murder, lead
vocalist Brandon Boyd and drummer Jose Pasillas finished their
parts ahead of schedule.
Considering Incubus was recording with a new producer and bassist,
it’s remarkable how easily the album came together. Brendan
O’Brien, best known for producing Pearl Jam and Rage Against
the Machine albums, deserves some of the credit. “He likes
to do things really fast, which is good because we don’t
like to sit around and overanalyze things,” Einziger said.
New bassist Ben Kenney joined Incubus when Dirk Lance left last
April. Before that, Kenney played with the Roots, Bubba Sparxxx
and Blackalicious. The first song Incubus wrote with Kenney was “Megalomaniac,” a
single that landed A Crow Left of the Murder big record sales.
Incubus is promoting A Crow Left of the Murder with a massive
tour that hits North America this month.
