Kiwi reggae band L.A.B are back with their sixth album, titled L.A.B VI.

They've put out five albums over a five-year timeframe, but this project took longer to craft- two years.

Joel Shadbolt, Stu Kora, and Miharo Gregory joined ZB's Francesca Rudkin to explain they'd surpassed their goal of releasing three albums over a three year period- and this needed longer to cook.

"Last couple years, we've had an awesome amount of touring overseas and we thought- let's let the sixth one cook a little bit longer. And it's paid off, we're really proud of the album."
