This Is How You Do It is The Bamboos 11th studio album and shows that the nine piece Melbourne Funk & Soul trailblazers continue to evolve even after 23 years together as a band. The album contains some surprise turns, such as the Boogie / Disco tinged first single "Ex-Files" featuring the band's longtime vocalist Kylie Auldist, and features guest MCs from the US (Ozay Moore and Ohmega Watts) and New Zealand (KINGS). Also guesting on two tracks is Melbourne vocalist Reginald AK, who just happens to be the Kylie's son.
What might sound on paper to be a new direction for the band makes total sense once you recognise the trademark combination of Lance Ferguson's Soul powered production style, their effortless groove and Kylie Auldist's incredible voice.

lyrics

Your new friend’s been dragging you down in it
I sure don’t like to see it
They don’t really seem to think much of you
Neither do you, do you?
Standing outside in the rain
Going out’ your way to please
Living life like nothing really matters
You matter to me
You matter to me

Every time they try
They give you nothing but heartache
Every time you cry
It’s more than i can take

I love you better than that
I’ve always got your back
I love you better than that

Nothing’s ever really gonna change is it?
The trick is you got to let it
Living life like nothin really matters
You matter to me
You matter to me

Every time they try
They give you nothing but heartache
Every time you cry
It’s more than i can take

I love you better than that
I’ve always got your back
I love you better than that

Climb on out again
There’s light around the bend
Climb on out again
I’ve still got your hand
Climb on out again
Hold on ‘til the end
Climb on out again
Yeah you got a friend
