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
You got a lot to say
And I don’t know if I got the time
When I see you coming I try to walk the other way
You always poison this vibe of mine
You always say some shit that rots my brain
I’d rather stick my eyes with needles in the pouring rain
Well I’ve been patient but I can’t take another grain
You think you’re deep but I’m in pain
I’m bored
You keep on talking and I’m bored
I’m bored
So very bored
Give you an inch you’ll take a mile
Once you start, get comfortable we’re gonna be here a little while
As soon as it begins I can’t wait for it to be over
It’s a shame you know my name
You’re so dull it’s out of control
You’re sayin’ some shit that rots my brain
I’d rather stick my eyes with needles in the pouring rain
Well I’ve been patient but I can’t take another grain
You think you’re deep but I’m in pain
I’m bored
You keep on talking and I’m bored
I’m bored
So very bored
