Australian stalwarts The Bamboos deliver their eighth studio album and their first for 3 years and the wait is more than worth it with the quality of sounds on ‘Night People’. Throughout the course of over 17 years making music they have shifted their sound from that early raw, Meters inspired ‘Deep Funk’ style to gradually move with the current trends, staying relevant and inventive while honing their chops. The sparkling ‘Lit Up’ – featuring the immense voice of album vocalist Kylie Auldist – is an emphatic opener, the glitzy thumper ‘Salvage Rights’ glows with a roughened disco glimmer while ‘Pony Up’ harks back to that syncopated New Orleans sound from their past with Kylie sounding uncannily like Sharon Jones! The stomping, sparkling Northern Soul of ‘War Story’ is a call to the dancefloor but the track of the album is the stunning crossover gem ‘Golden Ticket’ – worth the entrance fee alone! This track will be on heavy repeat! The beat ballad ‘You Should’ve Been Mine’ is another strong standout on a phenomenal return from the Aussie favourites!
