Message From a Drum

Redbone

A humid blend of indigenous rhythms and swampy psychedelia. Thick bass lines and soulful harmonies create a ritualistic, sun-drenched rock experience.

It's like a voodoo ritual performed by a world-class 70s funk band in the middle of a swamp.

A soulful and slightly eerie ritualistic journey through the humid American South.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, ritualistic drum pattern that anchors the title track's opening
The transition into the swirling, voodoo-psych groove of The Witch Queen of New Orleans
The extended, trance-inducing rhythmic breakdown during the final minutes of Fate
