What do you get when Josue revisits one of his most beloved albums—and Jeff hears it for the first time? A whole lot of crunchy guitars, sitars, phasers… and frogs. That’s right: we’re talking about Morning View by Incubus.
In this episode, we break down the layered sounds, angsty vocals, and deeply personal memories wrapped up in this early-2000s alt-rock time capsule. Josue brings the backstory, memorabilia, and genuine love for the band’s evolving sound—while Jeff wrestles with his first impressions of Brandon Boyd’s vocals... and tries to figure out why frogs close the album.
