8, Incubus's eighth studio album, landed on Island on April 21, 2017, and the title is exactly as literal as it looks. It came six years after If Not Now, When?, and the band that started out at Calabasas High School in 1991 (Brandon Boyd singing, Mike Einziger on guitar, José Pasillas on drums, with Chris Kilmore on the turntables and Ben Kenney on bass) sounds keen to rattle the windows again.
The making of it had a twist: Dave Sardy produced the record first, then the band's close friend Skrillex came in to re-produce and mix it, and the guitars come out sharper and punchier for it. Lead single "Nimble Bastard" gets straight to the point, all swagger and bounce, and went to number 4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. It turned out to be Kenney's last studio album with the band.
