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
Summer’s over, work is hard, it’s getting cold
We’re letting stress decide the weather inside our home
I wanna know the road that we can take to figure it out
There’s a million other ways
Another path to keep us safe
Safe from harm
There’s nothing else that’s in our way
Hold my hand we’re safe from harm
Together’s better night or day
So take my arm
I know you know I know you’re brave
We’re safe from harm
Safe
You know you drive me wild
Watching you across the room makes me lose my mind
But the air is changing something’s wrong
And I don’t wanna make you feel alone baby
We need to take some time
I wanna know the road that we can take to figure it out
There’s a million other ways
Another path to keep us safe
Safe from harm
There’s nothing else that’s in our way
Hold my hand we’re safe from harm
Together’s better night or day
So take my arm
I know you know I know you’re brave
We’re safe from harm
Safe
I’ve spent way too long without you
Moving alone was a chore
Before one became two
Trying to bridge the divide between us
But it’s growing wider and wider
I know the road is long but let’s take it slow
We’re just a few steps from home and we’ll be
Safe from harm
There’s nothing else that’s in our way
Hold my hand we’re safe from harm
Together’s better night or day
So take my arm
I know you know I know you’re brave
We’re safe from harm
Safe
