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.

“As soon as Kylie Auldist starts to sing the world just seems a better place, doesn’t it?””
