Stalwart label Tsuba continues it's journey into eclectic musical territory with its next full-length project, 'Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride', the outstanding debut LP by English dark and dirty disco champion Craig Bratley. For a couple of years now Craig Bratley has been considered as the northern branch of the so-called Scrutton Street axis, which sees producers like Andrew Weatherall, Timothy J Fairplay and Scott Fraser all conjure up apoco-disco sounds in their celebrated London studio. Bratley himself also runs Magic Feet, an assured label that deals in plenty of chugging electronic sounds and Craig has also released on labels like Weatherall's well-regarded Bird Scarer, Is It Balearic? Recordings, Robsoul and Instruments of Rapture. The ten track album finds Bratley exploring his fine collection of analogue machines and dark wave disco visions, with beatless ambient tracks, twinkly drug chug and tobacco stained grooves all sitting next to each other in perfect harmony.
