The British indie stalwarts have announced their ninth studio album along with autumn dates celebrating their 30th anniversary.
The band will release 'Avalanche' through Cooking Vinyl on June 12, their most honest, open, and raw work to date, which includes their recent single, Road To Nowhere.
Alongside the new music, Embrace have scheduled a UK tour for November to mark their 30th anniversary, following a number of festival appearances in the summer. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (February 6) - Compare and buy tickets here.
They'll also mark the milestone with spoken-word shows, with frontman Danny McNamara sharing stories from the band between September and May 2027, alongside the release of a book about their early days.
