Incubus to Release Two New EPs

"We’re planning on releasing two installments that will total an album, two EPs," guitarist Mike Einziger tells Billboard. “We’re hoping to put out the first one in February or March, then the summer.”

Along with the new music announcement, Incubus also revealed they've signed to Island Records. Having left Epic Records in 2012, Incubus wrote the new material without the influence of a label.

"We didn’t have any plans to make this record,” Einziger says. "Just having no horizon to look at was important for us. We needed that."

The lead single from the EPs will be a song entitled "Trust Fall," which Einziger describes as "pretty ambitious." As a whole, he believes that the new releases will surprise listeners with songs like "Trust Fall" and "Dance Like You're Dumb."

"['Dance Like You're Dumb' is] our version of a loud aggressive rock song," Einziger says. "It’s definitely not what someone would expect from us."

Incubus' last album was 2011's If Not Now, When?, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.
