Thirty years into a career that has seen them become a staple of the British indie-rock landscape, Embrace have returned with details of their ninth studio album, Avalanche. Set for release on 12th June via Cooking Vinyl, the record arrives as part of a massive year of celebrations for the West Yorkshire five-piece.
A Raw New Chapter
To mark the announcement, the band has shared the lead single, "Road To Nowhere." Lead singer Danny McNamara describes the track as an exploration of toxic relationships and "stubborn faith," blending a sense of sadness with an uplifting, persistent belief in love.
McNamara suggests that Avalanche is the band's most "honest, open, and raw" work to date. "We came into this album with a really simple idea: that real joy doesn’t live in the big, dramatic moments," he explains. "It lives in the small, almost invisible flashes of magic that happen when you slow down. Musically, that meant choosing feel over perfection. We wanted the music to sound human—rough around the edges."
30th Anniversary Celebrations
The album is just one pillar of a milestone year for the band, who have sold over two million records worldwide. In 2026, fans can also expect a spoken-word theatre tour detailing the band's history, a new book, and a high-profile run of festival appearances.
The celebrations culminate in a headline 30th Anniversary UK Tour this November, hitting iconic venues like Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom and London’s Roundhouse.
