The Bamboos [2023] - Ex-Files [BMG]

There hasn't been a particularly great batch of releases today but we can only post the best of what we find. That's not a slight on this release, just a passing comment that the number of good ones to choose to post has been very limited.

This is the latest, and second, single, "Ex-Files", pre-released from The Bamboos' upcoming album "This Is How You Do It" set for release on 3 Nov.  The other one was "Midnight Glow" way back in Feb which feature rap from Ozay Moore.

The song is co-written by Kylie Auldist and Lance Ferguson who we posted a single, "Freedom", from yesterday under the guise of Menagerie, which is rather good.

The Bamboos [2021] - Hard Up (Bonus Tracks) [BMG]

On 7 May 2021 The Bamboos released their latest album "Hard Up". Yesterday (12 Aug 2021) they released two additional "Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks" "Piece Of Me" and "Reef Shark". I'm not too keen of the first but "Reef Shark" is a good driving, funky instrumental.

The Bamboos [2021] - Hard Up [BMG] (Full Album)

The latest album from The Bamboos 'Hard Up' was released 7 May 2021. Several of the tracks have already escaped as singes, the title track, 'While You Sleep', 'Power Without Greed', 'Ride On Time' (cover of Black Box which used samples from Loleatta Holloway's 'Love Sensation') and the latest one 'Nothing I Wanna Know About'.

One of the tracks 'If Not Now (Then When)' features a guest appearance by Durand Jones.

The two best tracks, for me, are the neo Northern Soul track 'The Thing About You' and deep retro ballad 'I Just Heard You Leaving'. Many of the other tracks are Nu Soul/Funk.

The nine piece band from Melbourne have been around now for twenty years, being formed in 2001. This is their tenth studio album, along with three live albums to their repertoire. Their lead singer, Kylie Auldist, has released four solo albums and has also featured on a few Cookin' On 3 Burner's recordings, including the superb 'This Girl' in 2009.
