Dec 2, 2016The key, though, is that each track will slot effortlessly into their famously hypnotic live shows.

Oct 14, 2016A 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.

-
Oct 17, 2016Jagwar Ma are still playing catch-up with their compatriots, Tame Impala and the Avalanches.

Q MagazineOct 13, 2016Plenty of opportunities to put your hands in the air, but, ultimately, you may not care. [Nov 2016, p.108]

Oct 13, 2016Overall, no risks are taken: all of the lyrics want to be mantras but end up as little nothings instead; practically all of the songs reveal their hands way before their often too-long song lengths; they mistake reverb as a songwriting tool.
