Embrace<\/a> have announced an \u201chonest, open and raw\u201d new album called \u2018Avalanche\u2019. Check out the new single \u2018Road To Nowhere\u2019 below, as well as details of a new 30th anniversary UK tour.<\/p>\n

The new record marks the ninth studio album from the five-piece, and will be released on June 12 via Cooking Vinyl. Visit here to pre-order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the band, the record will see them take on a new sense of honesty, and embrace how fate can pull you down different avenues that are beyond your control. It also sees them turn a spotlight towards the smaller, more humble moments that we can often overlook, but undoubtedly form some of the best parts of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came into this album with a really simple idea: that real, deep, honest-to-God joy doesn\u2019t live in the big, dramatic moments we\u2019re all taught to chase,\u201d said frontman Danny McNamara. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t live in huge, unattainable goals or impressive, life-changing achievements. It lives in the small, almost invisible flashes of magic that happen when you slow down and actually live in the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cLyrically, I was trying to capture those little magic moments. Ironically, I\u2019ve spent most of my life not noticing them, and when I finally did, they all came at once \u2013 it\u2019s been pretty overwhelming. Which I guess is why the title \u2018Avalanche\u2019 felt so right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today (Wednesday January 28), the band have shared the first taster of the new record in the form of lead single \u2018Road To Nowhere\u2019.<\/p>\n

According the McNamara, the track is about the \u201cthe futility of a toxic relationship [and] the fact you don\u2019t realise you\u2019re on a road to nowhere until you reach the end of it.\u201d Check it out below.<\/p>\n

The theme in the song mirrors that of the record as a whole, and the band explain that in the writing process, they were not \u201ctrying to write something definitive, or sum everything up, or make any grand statement\u201d, they were instead focusing on making the songs \u201cfeel honest in the moment they were written.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted the music to sound human \u2013 rough around the edges \u2013 because the little moments of magic are never polished. You don\u2019t build them, they just arrive. And if you\u2019re paying attention, you might just capture something real. If you\u2019re lucky,\u201d McNamara continued.<\/p>\n
