But that doesn't mean the Incubus guitarist has become completely detached from his old band. In fact, they're working on new material right now. Einziger and frontman Brandon Boyd have been secretly working on new Incubus music, which would mark the band's first collaborative effort since their 2011 release If Not Now, When?

"Me and Brandon have been scheming the last couple of weeks," Einziger told Radio.com. "There's definitely going to be new music. It probably won't happen until next year but it's happening."

Einziger said the duo has been locking themselves in a room for a few hours here and there � "like little bits here and there. You know everybody's got a lot of things going on but we're slowly bringing out focus back to the band and everybody's excited about it because we've had enough time away from it to where it's exciting for everyone. There's definitely some really great stuff coming."

That doesn't mean that stuff will be coming anytime soon. Though content has come from the sessions, much of it is in its infancy in terms of development; "They're ideas but some are further along than others," Einziger said.
