On the duo's self-titled debut,
Incubus frontman
Brandon Boyd teams up with producer
Brendan O'Brien as
Sons of the Sea, with the pair setting off to explore more pop-influenced waters. Airy and reflective, the album has a sound that suits
Boyd's soaring and versatile vocals, giving him the time to stretch out and explore the sonic spaces
O'Brien has created for him. While the album feels a long way from the spacy drive of
Incubus, fans of
Boyd's voice will no doubt appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the singer in a more relaxed, carefree setting.
