There are only a few rules. It should be heavy groove. It should make youwant to move. Overall,Ive further developed the sound people are used to.You hear about different forms of magic around the world, he goes on. The West, ingeneral, has its own voodoo influenced by the blues. Thats what shaped me as amusician growing up in this country. Its hard to put in the words, but you know it whenyou hear it.You hear it in everything that BoomBox has done thus far. Over the course of fouralbums, the group has become a streaming favorite with numerous tracks crackingamillion plays on Spotify. Moreover, theyve made audiences groove everywhere fromElectric ForestandHangout Music FestivaltoHigh Sierra Music Festival.In the end, the new music kicks off the brightest and boldest chapter yet for Godchaux.Our bestside is somewhat medicinal, he leaves off. All of the rhythms, melodies, andfrequencies add up to these healing properties. I hope people feel rejuvenated and re-focused on some level when they hear us. ThatsWestern Voodoo.
