The band that defined Australian soul in the 2000s, continues its compelling musical evolution with their sixth album 'Fever In The Road,' the follow-up to last year’s ARIA-nominated and much-loved ‘Medicine Man’.

Bandleader, producer, and main songwriter Lance Ferguson worked again with producer John Castle (Washington, Josh Pyke, Pez) venturing into sonic landscapes The Bamboos have previously touched on but never fully inhabited. There is a sense that the music is leaner and more muscular, yet upon closer inspection the tracks reveal themselves to be densely multi-layered in a 'Wall Of Sound' style. And it's this aural complexity and depth that allows darker moods to roam through the album, taking their sound to a new place. The songs career from the wondrously anthemic ('Avenger', The Truth', 'Rats', 'Jump My Train'), to the dreamy and psychedelic ('Looking West', 'Harbinger') and the darkly fragile ('Killing Jar', 'Before I Go'). This time around, all 11 tracks feature regular vocalists Kylie Auldist and Ella Thompson, a direction Ferguson explains, “I love to work with different vocalists in the studio, but I really felt with this album that I wanted us to make a definitive statement as a band.”

And what they do on 'Fever In the Road' is take their sound to a place where musical risk-taking collides with the assuredness that can only come after more than a decade in the game. The Bamboos have carved out a signature sound that embraces classic and current influences whilst weaving them into something altogether brand new.
