A CERTAIN RATIO
In the organizer's words:
INTERNATIONAL SUMMER FESTIVAL 2024
This legendary, razor-sharp post-punk groove band from Manchester has been reinventing itself for 46 years, regardless of style and genre boundaries.
Rarely has music history sounded as contemporary as on the new, 13th studio album by the band A Certain Ratio, founded in Manchester in 1977. On "It All Comes Down to This" (Mute Records), the post-punk trio, which plays in its original line-up, shows without any nostalgia how a signature sound of funk guitars, Afrobeat drums and wave synths can still be developed in the band's 46th year. You can hear that the band has crossed paths with Joy Division, Talking Heads and Grace Jones since their beginnings in the legendary Factory environment. But more important to the band than their own legendary status is the contemporary euphoria with which they move through styles and moods. On the new album, these range from defiantly indie earworms to dub-funk pieces and post-punk disco bangers and have been congenially reduced to the essential core of melody and groove by producer Dan Carey (Black Midi, Kae Tempest, Sophie Hunger): "An infectiously kinetic, richly detailed, timeless affair" (Uncut Magazine).
