Artist News Releases
A Certain Ratio announce first album for more than a decade

A Certain Ratio have announced that they will release their first album for twelve years this autumn.
“Digging into the past for [last year’s ‘ACR:BOX’] boxset must have rubbed off on us and influenced the current album”, says the band’s Martin Moscrop. “I think it helped spark up our imagination. It allowed us to work in some of the past as we move forward into the future”.
Creating remixes for a number of other artists in recent years, including The Charlatans, Barry Adamson and Maps, also spurred them on to begin working on their own original material again, says Donald Johnson: “The reworks were crucial. They got us back in the studio and forced a union and a bond. They allowed us to start getting a groove again”.
“We love doing the reworks because it’s just us doing our thing”, adds Jez Kerr. “The three of us jamming is really the basis of it all. Once you get that groove there’s no stopping us. This album is a culmination of everything we’ve ever done”.
Titled ‘ACR Loco’, the album is out on 25 Sep through Mute. Here’s first single, ‘Always In Love’:
