About Embrace
Embrace come from Brighouse in West Yorkshire, with Danny McNamara on vocals and his brother Richard on guitar. The band signed to Hut Records, and their debut album, The Good Will Out, went to number one in the UK, carried by singles such as 'Come Back to What You Know'.
After a quieter spell, Embrace returned to the top of the album chart with Out of Nothing, which included 'Gravity', a song written for them by Chris Martin of Coldplay. 'World at Your Feet' later served as England's official song for the 2006 World Cup. Their records pair Danny McNamara's plain-spoken, earnest vocals with slow-building arrangements that swell into big choruses.
