It’s been three long years since we heard any new material from psychedelic-dance trio Jagwar Ma, but that silence has finally been broken. The group announced a brand new album, Every Now and Then in the process, and premiered their new song O B 1 on Triple J yesterday.
The song itself is a steady psych-pop groover that alternates between the dark underbelly of nightclubs and summery goodness… but makes no mention of Star Wars.
Accompanying the track is an ‘on the road’ music video, showing the band gigging, recording and travelling between cities, all with a retro filter that will no doubt be replicated by fans on countless Instagram accounts.
The video also briefly shows Stella Mozgawa from Warpaint on the skins, raising questions as to any features that may be included on the album.
Watch/ listen below.
Every Now and Then is due for release on October 14th, following on from their 2013 debut Howlin’, which blew us away with its fusion of bluesy grooves and dance beats.
The band are set to appear at Splendour In The Grass next week and have also announced a couple of warm up shows. See below.
