LP- Limited Standard Edition Orange Vinyl. Includes download code.

A Certain Ratios greatest strength has always been their unpredictability. Theyve always moved with gleeful disregard for the boundaries of style and genre, their eye fixed firmly on constant progression. Its an ethos thats open-minded over all else, and thats seen them take everything from experimental electronica to vintage funk, filtered through their own Mancunian lens.

And their latest studio album 1982 is no different in its unpredictable multidimensional nature. It shoots off in every direction, whether via searing Afrobeat, mind- melting jazz breakdowns or moody electronic experiments all with pop hooks and irresistible dance rhythms.

It might be called 1982, but its no nostalgia trip, fearlessly facing up to the future and running at it with full speed.

The album follows ACR Loco and EP:ACR in what is turning out to be the bands most creative period, unmistakably ACR and unmistakably like nothing else.

Available on orange vinyl, limited edition smokey marbled vinyl & CD.
