Hiatus and future (2008–present)
In June 2008, frontman Brandon Boyd told Billboard.com that Incubus may take a break from touring and recording while its members concentrate on school, family and other activities. Boyd plans to enroll in a university art program, while guitarist Mike Einziger will go to Harvard music school next year to study composition. Einziger just showcased an orchestral piece in concert at UCLA’s Royce Hall on August 23, 2008. Drummer José Pasillas is also “having a baby, so there’s a lot of normal life stuff going on right now—school, babies, mortgages,” Boyd said. “I’m of the mind to say it wouldn’t be a bad thing to disappear for a year or two years,” he said. “A lot of people would say culture moves too fast and you need to remind people, but I would argue there’s not any rush.”
Einziger stated that the band is likely to get together in late 2009 to record an album for release in 2010.
