不知道该怎么说了。今年这么能咋呼的Bamboos，居然还能在年终岁尾造出一张这么牛掰的专辑。我一边儿听一边儿在玩命回忆。似乎真的是Bambbos最好的一张专辑了，而且在这张里，Kylie Auldist终于出世了。之前除了在各种合辑里，听到她的Community Service Announcement 焊 I Don’t Wanna Stop，就几乎没再听她张过嘴。今次，这上世纪中叶嗓子的爆发，有助于缓解Alice Russell阿姨的身心疲惫。

Info :
On their hotly anticipated third album, ‘Side Stepper’, Australian kings of funk The Bamboos take the beat-laden deep party funk of their previous LPs ‘Step It Up’ and ‘Rawville’ and push the boundaries of their sound with an injection of Northern soul and ’60s Mod soul style. An amazing selection of guest vocalists – Kylie Auldist, MC Ty, Megan Washington and Swedish soul sensation Paul MacInnes – add their own unique flavours to the brew. Earlier this year The Bamboos backed Kylie Auldist on ‘Just Say’, her debut solo album, which was hailed as one of the best albums of the year by Mark Lamarr.
