I needed something to dive into wholeheartedly, lest I get depressed about the circumstances happening around me.ĪNTIHERO: Yeah, sure. It was just what the doctor ordered for me during the lockdown. So, the record was recorded completely remotely and ended up being a fun and interesting experience. And we never even met in person until after the record was finished. So, John Congleton and I connected and we started sending song ideas back and forth over emails and would chat about things over FaceTime. But in this case, it was written entirely remotely. And then I fine-tune at home by myself and hyper-focus and get granular with things. A lot of the stuff gets written when we’re writing Incubus records and in my other solo projects and stuff, I’ll write with people in the room for probably a half of the time, three-quarters of the time. But I had never written an album at home away from other people.

I have a very humble recording set up, but it works well for what I’m trying to do. But it was interesting because I’ve done quite a few over the last few years, quite a few of the vocal recordings to Incubus albums and stuff here at my house. There are all of the obvious reasons being that it was written and recorded during a pandemic and during the height of lockdown. I just wondered about the whole creative process for that in what was a different world environment.īrandon Boyd: Yeah, it was about as different as the process has ever been.

ANTIHERO: You have a new album coming out soon.
