The McNamara brothers have buckled down to some serious songwriting (aided by Coldplay's Chris Martin on first single "Gravity") to produce a selection of songs that can all lay claim to the title "Classic". Opening with the monumental "Ashes" it is clear from the off that this is not some huge stylistic leap. Instead Embrace have consolidated all they are good at (epic, heart-warming anthems) and finally made the album they have always promised. "Gravity" is exactly what you'd expect, a Coldplay tune as played by Embrace, but where as Chris Martin and the boys are often stark and fidgety Embrace cover the track in a lushness that makes you swoon. "Someday" has them coming across like the younger brothers of Spiritualised complete with a finale featuring a full-on gospel choir, "Wish 'Em All Away" is harmonica-soaked loveliness with a chorus that touches the heavens, and "Spell It Out" is a string-laden monster that has 'festival closer' written all over it. The album ends as magnificently as it begins with a triplet of songs that takes the breath away. The gentle "A Glorious Day", atmospheric "Near Life" and magnificent title track prove just how far Embrace have come since the days of out-of-tune criticisms and gags about being Oasis' little brothers. Out of Nothing is a truly exceptional album that suggests that, far from being over, the journey for Embrace has only just begun. REVIEW Six years ago Embrace released a critically and commercially successful debut album in the shape of The Good Will Out. However, following the commercial failures of the overly fiddly Drawn From Memory and their final studio album for old label Hut If You've Never Been, the band have returned with what may be called a return to form. Now signed to Independiente, the home of Travis and Paul Weller, the band were given time and funds to produce the best album possible and they've come up with some of most well-judged material of their career. While the first single from the album "Gravity" may have been penned by Coldplay's Chris Martin this isn't to say the McNamara brothers have lost any of their old anthemic charm. Opening with the monumental "Ashes" it is clear that this album is less of a progression and more of a consolidation of skills. Elsewhere, "A Glorious Day", "Wish 'Em All Away" and "Near Life" are all Embrace by numbers - but in a good way. The desolate "Looking As You Are" is more downbeat showing the other side to the group with an unusually critical vocal from Danny. Likely to hit the Top 3 this week and with a fist full of promising singles, Out Of Nothing could take the Huddersfield five-piece higher than they could ever have contemplated.
