“Nimble Bastard” is launching with an iHeart Radio world premiere and an appearance on KROQ's Kevin and Bean program in Incubus’ hometown, Los Angeles. It is the first new music from 8, the aptly titled eighth studio album by Incubus, produced by Dave Sardy (Marilyn Manson, Oasis, Fall Out Boy, LCD Soundsystem, Rage Against The Machine). The album will be arriving this spring on Island Records.
Incubus emerged from Calabasas, California, with their indie debut album Fungus Amongus in 1995. Starting with 1997’s S.C.I.E.N.C.E., they went on to release six studio albums on the Epic/Immortal label (the last three produced by Brendan O’Brien), achieving RIAA gold, platinum and multi-platinum success; as well as five live albums. Four of their songs have hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, including “Drive” (2000, also Top 10 Pop), “Megalomaniac” (2003), “Anna-Molly” (2006), and “Love Hurts” (2008).
