Out Of Nothing - Embrace

It was towards the end of 1997 that I first heard of Embrace. They were a new fresh band from Huddersfield and without even releasing a single had everyone raving about them.

Out Of Nothing is Huddersfield boy band Embrace' fourth album and arguably their best. The British Indie-Rock band continue with there somewhat unknown magical work with some outstanding tracks such as Gravity, Ashes, A Glorious Day and Out Of Nothing.

I must admit I wasn't expecting the rest of the album to be much cop. Was I to be proved wrong? Here are my thoughts on the ...  Read the complete review
