A Certain Ratio
A Certain Ratio have announced details of a new album produced by Dan Carey, and an extensive UK tour for spring 2024 including a date at Summerhall on 28th April.
About A Certain Ratio
It All Comes Down to This, their 13th studio album, will be released on 19 April 2024.
The new album is the purest distillation of their essential sound ever committed to tape, and the first time they have recorded as just the core trio of principle band members – multi-instrumentalists Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson.
The core trio will be joined on bass by Viv Griffin for the live shows, and the band intend to play the album in its glorious entirety, an endeavour they have never previously attempted, underscoring the unrivalled cohesion that this particular body of work possesses. Many jewels from the past will also adorn the set lists too, and, like ever, reworked and remodelled, the band are proud of their past, rather than dependent upon it.
As a snapshot of where A Certain Ratio stand in 2024, It All Comes Down to This is a towering testament to their staying power. For a band whose path has intersected with the lives of Joy Division, The Fall, Talking Heads, Madonna and Grace Jones, to now be immersed in their most creative and prolific period since the early 1980s, puts the great majority of their contemporaries to shame. But then again, when you have always been preoccupied with laying the groundwork for your next steps, you’re unlikely ever to derive much satisfaction from standing still.
