Coheed and Cambria recently worked with Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger to record the band’s new song, “Dark Side of Me”. Einziger is now streaming the song on SoundCloud.
“Coheed & Cambria’s manager asked me if I’d be interested in working with the band. The collaboration came about in a really organic way,” Einziger told KROQ. “Claudio, the singer of Coheed & Cambria, came out and stayed with me at my house in Malibu for a couple of days. We listened to a bunch of music and spent some time talking about it. He played me some of the music they’d been working on, and I picked out the song ‘Dark Side of Me,’ which the band and already written and recorded. I asked if we could do a different version of it. Almost like a remix, but an entirely different version of the song altogether, with new vocals. Claudio sang and played the guitar parts, and I did everything else. He gave me the freedom to do what I wanted with the song, and it came out great!”
The original version of “Dark Side of Me” will be released on Coheed and Cambria’s forthcoming album, The Afterman: Decension, which is available for pre-sale on iTunes and due for release on February 5. Einziger’s version of “Dark Side of Me” will be available on the deluxe version of the album. Stream Einziger’s re-imagining of “Dark Side of Me” below.
