Embrace Deny They Are Splitting Up

In a dramatic turn around, Embrace have now denied that they are splitting up.

Danny McNamara says that the band treat every record as if it’s their last and his comments were a figure of speech.

He had told BBC6music last night: "I think our next album will be our last ever album. If we get as far as making it and finishing it, I want it to be a masterpiece and I want to take as long as it takes."

But now, McNamara has changed his tune, telling Radio 1: "We're going to make our next album as if it's our last, but we always do that anyway, because that's how we go into these things, you've got to be wholehearted, you know."

When told that the comments implied that they were calling it a day, the singer responded: "That definitely not the intention.

“This tour that we're on might be the last for a while as there's some stuff that I want to do. But our next album's got to be amazing and it needs a lot from me to do that.

"It's just kind of a psychological process more than anything, really."
