That "difficult second album"? Almost four years have passed since Brisbane's Blues Arcadia released it's breakout debut LP, Carnival of Fools, to instant and universal acclaim. Under normal circumstances, following up a record that opened at No 1 on the Australian Blues & Roots Airplay chart and attracted 4.5 and 5-star reviews might have been fraught with a degree of overthinking and self-doubt.But the past four years have proved to be anything but "normal circumstances". During an extended break enforced by a worldwide plague that brought the entire music and arts industries to a standstill, along with lives and careers in general, the population at large also took pause to consider it's future. Most of us at one time or another wondered if there was a future.Blues Arcadia took the time to write and record it's second album, Now Or Never, the title suggesting a mission statement of sorts.
