Embrace
One Big Family EP (Hut)
" West Yorkshire's Embrace
come on like The Verve after three square meals a
day and a hit of fortifying tonic wine. The title track of this four-song
EP is a big rock noise,brandishing
a terrace-friendly chorus and one of those primordial guitar riffs that,
once speeded up, has kept a hundred metal bands in backstage vol-au-vents
and groupies. Currently beating off critical kudos
and celebrity fans (Noel likes them, you know), everything here is noteworthy.
You've Only Got To Stop
To Get Better, especially, shouldering its way to the front with its shouty,
junior Oasis feel and cache of horns. "
