==Writing and | ==Writing and recording== | ||
''Boomtown'' is Ozma's first released album in seven years following 2007's ''[[Pasadena]]'', thus being the longest gap between studio albums for the band. It is also unique in several ways. It opens with the unrelenting melodious rocker "[[Around the World in 80 Seconds]]", Ozma's first instrumental song since ''[[The Doubble Donkey Disc]]''’s "[[Korobeiniki]]". "[[Nervous]]" is notable as the first Ozma song written by drummer [[Kenn Shane]], and the first lead vocal by keyboardist [[Star Wick]]. "[[Out the Window]]" is the second Ozma song (the other being ''The Doubble Donkey Disc'''s "[[Immigration Song]]") to feature rhythm guitarist [[Jose Galvez]] on lead vocals. Also curious is the fact that bassist and frequent frontman [[Daniel Brummel]] only sings lead on two of the songs. | |||
==Fundraiser== | |||
The album's creation was made possible through a successful fundraising campaign on the website [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PledgeMusic PledgeMusic], which raised a total of over $20,000.{{Citation needed}} In an attempt to promote the fundraiser, [[Jose Galvez]] made a rap for the band to sing and uploaded it to his own youtube channel. The beginning of the video uses a demo of the song "[[You'd Think I'd Know]]". | |||

We wanna make an album but we don't got any money | |||
You think it's a joke, but it really isn't funny | |||
These days you gotta make it on your own | |||
Got no label to call home | |||
So give us some money we'll do the best we can | |||
Spread rock music all across the land | |||
Ozma's gonna make a brand new album and it's gonna be really really good | |||
Ozma's gonna make a new CD and it's gonna blow your minds</poem> | |||
