One Big Family EP

Embrace

Sweeping piano-led anthems and gritty Northern vocals. A snapshot of 1997 Britpop at its most earnest, cinematic, and emotionally charged.

It's the sound of a 90s sunset turned into a massive, heart-swelling rock anthem.

A defiant surge of optimism filtered through Northern grit and cinematic arrangements.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition in Dry Kids where the guitars finally break through the rhythmic tension.
The soaring, communal vocal refrain that closes out You've Only Got to Stop to Get Better.
The way the piano melody in the title track anchors the massive wall of sound without getting lost.
