Emerging from the late 70s punk scene, A Certain Ratio has continuously pushed boundaries of style and genre since their formation in 1978. The band's commitment to constant progression has led them to explore experimental electronica and vintage funk through their unique Mancunian perspective.
Released in 2024, "It All Comes Down to This" represents the purest distillation of A Certain Ratio's essential sound. The album, their thirteenth studio release, showcases the trio of core members Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop, and Donald Johnson at their creative peak, delivering ten tracks that range from urgent and muscular grooves to open and breezy synth melodies. Each moment on the record exudes a sense of resilience and vitality, demonstrating the band's ability to tap into new sources of inspiration.
