    Every Now & Then is the best kind of second album, one that improves on the first one without throwing away any of the elements that made it good.

    A lot of Every Now And Then was recorded in the rural French studio they’ve compared to the doomed country retreat featured in cult comedy Withnail & I. And that fits, really, as the place this album had to have been made: somewhere haphazard and idiosyncratic, but weirdly brilliant.

    The key, though, is that each track will slot effortlessly into their famously hypnotic live shows.

    Every Now & Then is often vivid and enjoyable, but after a few listens, you may find yourself switching back to one of the band’s predecessors. The former is a fun ride, but Screamadelica could still blow your mind.

    The second LP mines elements from their debut, but pushes bigger and more ambitious with plenty of room left to grow.

    Truthfully, with as much talent as there is in Jagwar Ma, and their comfort with experimentation and skill in the studio, there's no reason to not expect a great record from this band. Unfortunately, this one is just not it.

    Every Now And Then takes the form of a transcendental equivalent of the longest summer. Wavelengths stretch leaving you feeling worked over, fatigued and ready for a taste of something new.
