Having just returned from their most successful tour in over 20 years, the band is back with ACR Loco, their first album in 12 years, following the two retrospective compilations Mute acr:set and ACR:BOX. "We celebrated the band's 40th anniversary," says Kerr. "Now it's about the future and where we're going." Formed in 1977, the unique band fused post-punk, funk, disco, and avant-garde trends to create a sound all their own. The band's influence remains immense, and over the course of their albums, ACR has become a major source of inspiration for new generations. ACR Loco is an eclectic yet coherent record, seamlessly moving from the endless dream of its opening track, ‘Friends Around Us’, to the infectious funk of ‘Bouncy Bouncy’, the poignant beauty of ‘Always in Love’, and concluding with the flamboyant ‘Taxi Guy’, a track that incorporates jazz, Brazilian music, and acid house in just seven minutes. Such a blend of varied sounds and influences has always been ACR's goal, and this album perfectly encapsulates 40 years of their tastes and output.
