The songwriting was awesome, and I love the way that she sings and writes. But she played me her newest record and I was struck by it. She me Angel Olson, who I had heard of and I super-enjoyed what I heard over the years. Just like, ‘Oh, I love this song, it just came out’ or ‘Check this one out from 60 years ago.’ We were just intellectually challenging each other with our musical tastes. “My girlfriend moved in with me over the course of the pandemic and she and I started sitting down every afternoon, having tea and we’d play music for each other. “It was a really strange period of time,” Boyd says over Zoom. It was during one of these sessions that set Boyd on the path to his new single “Pocket Knife” and his attendant third solo album, Echoes and Cocoons, slated for release in March. Each afternoon during lockdown, the two of them-both die-hard musicophiles-would share their latest musical discoveries with each other. The frontman for Incubus was content staying in his home in the Santa Monica Mountains, painting and spending time with his girlfriend.
Brandon Boyd hadn’t actually planned to make a record during the 2020 COVID lockdown.
