It All Comes Down to This is the brand new album from Manchester legends A Certain Ratio, produced by Speedy Wunderground’s Dan Carey. It’s 10 tracks that go straight to the point, get back to their roots and have a sprinkling of electronics for good measure. This is the first time they have recorded as a 3 piece with no additional collaborators or members of the live set up. Formed in 1978 with a core line-up of Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson, A Certain Ratio emerged from the hallowed grounds of the late 70s punk scene, and from that day on they’ve moved forwards with gleeful disregard for the boundaries of style and genre, their eye fixed firmly on constant progression. The album follows 1982 and 2023 EP in what is turning out to be the band’s most creative period, unmistakably ACR and unmistakably like nothing else.
