A Certain Ratiorsquos greatest strength has always been their unpredictability. Theyrsquove always moved with gleeful disregard for the boundaries of style and genre, their eye fixed firmly on constant progression. Itrsquos an ethos thatrsquos openminded over all else, and thatrsquos 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 itrsquos no nostalgia trip, fearlessly facing up to the future and running at it with full speed.The album follows ACR Loco and EPACR in what is turning out to be the bandrsquos most creative period, unmistakably ACR and unmistakably like nothing else.Pressed on Orange vinylMetallic ink printed sleeveIncludes audio download code
