Today marks the release of The Bamboos sixth album 'Fever In The Road' in Australia and New Zealand. The album showcases the band's innate ability to create infectious and melodic soul with a flourish of pop. While still retaining the feel good nature that has been a staple of their music, The Bamboos have adopted darker elements to their music in this release, with densely layered strings, organs, synths and guitar to add depth to the music. Explaining the new album, Lance Ferguson states that "“I always want to make a better record, a different record. The Bamboos had their roots in certain genres but now it's been blown wide open. Now it feels like we can go in many directions...our direction...". The album is set to be released by Sony in Europe and Nettwerk in the US, Canada and Mexico early next year.
This album follows on from the band’s breakthrough 2012 album ‘Medicine Man’, which garnered them three ARIA Award nominations (Best Independent Release, Best Urban Album & Best Live Act), and saw the single “I Got Burned” feat. Tim Rogers reach #54 in Triple J’s Hottest 100.
