Embrace Biography

The three months that Embrace spent in the studio with Youth making Out Of Nothing were, says Danny McNamara, a nightmare.

"It was very, very, very hard". Even now, four months after the album sessions, the normally combatative McNamara is still visibly gob smacked by the experience.

Embrace had wanted to work with Youth ever since he produced early singles All You Good Good People and Come Back To What You Know, from their Number One debut album The Good Will Out. After those 1997 and 1998 releases, they'd more or less produced themselves. But for their fourth album - and their first for Independiente - Embrace needed to shake things up a bit.

Embrace had ended their relationship with Hut in 2002, after the release of their third album, If You've Never Been. They were immediately signed by Independiente. The label's boss Andy Macdonald was a long-time fan of the band. He'd seen them headline the second stage at T In The Park, had seen first hand the passionate live following the band had built over five years.
