A Certain Ratio Announce New LP 'LOCO', Stream "Always In Love"

Legendary Manchester post-punk/funk band A Certain Ratio have announced the release of their new album 'LOCO', their first in 12 years.

The 10-track album and their first since 2008’s Mind Made Up, will be out on September 25th via Mute. Pre-order your copy here.

ACR Loco feels like an accumulation of ACR's DNA from point zero in 1977 through to 2020 and sounds like a band who have effortlessly perfected their craft. An album to dance to, cry to, fall in love to and most importantly, to party to.

Loco was produced by the core ACR members Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson, joined by long term partners Tony Quigley, Denise Johnson and Matt Steele, plus special guests Sink Ya Teeth’s Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford, Factory Floor’s Gabe Gurnsey and Manchester luminaries Mike Joyce and Eric Random.

Speaking of the project, Kerr explained that “this album is a culmination of everything we’ve ever done. It distils the different directions and styles that have run throughout the band’s career – one that began in the late ‘70s with Factory Records first ever 7” release.”
