Revitalized :, : by their most successful tour in over two decades, the band : :' returned to the studio to record their first album in 12 years ': ,: – due for release September 25 on Mute. :, : : :' The new 10-track album will be released on CD, cassette, ': ,: limited edition colored vinyl and digital platforms. The vinyl :, : will be available in one of four colors: white, blue, red and : :' turquoise, randomly packed, with each color of varying rarity. ': ,: :, : ACR Loco was recorded by the core line up of Jez Kerr, Martin : :' Moscrop and Donald Johnson with contributions from the ACR live ': ,: line up – Tony Quigley on sax, Denise Johnson adds vocals and :, : Matt Steele provides keyboards. Additional guests include Sink : :' Ya Teeth’s Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford, Gabe Gurnsey ': ,: (Factory Floor) and Manchester luminaries Mike Joyce and Eric :, : Random. : :' ': ,: “This album is a culmination of everything we've ever done,” :, : explains Kerr. The album distills the different directions and : :' styles that have run throughout the band’s career, one that ': ,: began in the late ‘70s with Factory Records’ first ever 7” :, : release. “Digging into the past for the boxset [ACR:BOX was : :' released in 2019 on Mute] must have rubbed off on us and ': ,: influenced the current album,” says Moscrop. “I think it helped :, : spark up our imagination. It allowed us to work in some of the : :' past as we move forward into the future.” ': ,: :, : Keen on the joys of collaboration and sharing, it makes sense : :' that adding the ACR touch to other artists via a series of ': ,: reworks led to their latest album taking shape. Recent reworks :, : of tracks for the likes of Barry Adamson, The Charlatans and : :' Maps saw the band return to the studio to unpick those original ': ,: tracks. “The reworks were crucial,” says Donald Johnson. “They :, : got us back in the studio and forced a union and a bond. They : :' allowed us to start getting a groove again.” Kerr mirrors this. ': ,: “We love doing the reworks because it's just us doing our :, : thing,” he says. “The three of us jamming is really the basis of : :' it all. Once you get that groove there’s no stopping us.” ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
