Incubus Succubus is a conceptual album by Carlos Simpson that explores the enduring mythology of the incubus and succubus as symbolic representations of desire, temptation, attraction and psychological transformation.

Drawing inspiration from folklore, mythology and human behaviour, the album examines the tension between creation and destruction, consciousness and instinct, freedom and attachment. Rather than presenting these figures as literal supernatural beings, the work uses them as metaphors for the forces that influence human thought, emotion and decision-making.

Throughout history, incubi and succubi have appeared in stories across cultures as manifestations of hidden desires, fears and unresolved aspects of the self. This album reinterprets those archetypes through music, inviting listeners to reflect on identity, vulnerability, intimacy and the complex relationship between temptation and personal responsibility.

Combining atmospheric textures, experimental sound design and improvised composition, Incubus Succubus forms part of Carlos Simpson's wider multidisciplinary creative practice, where music, visual art and storytelling intersect to explore the deeper dimensions of human experience.
