Founded in Leicestershire as a synth duo by Gary Knight and Cameron Lindo in 1982, they released the mini-album, &#8220;The Initial Caress\u201c (Glass Records), which received notable airplay by John Peel. Their first proper album was called \u2018Passionfruit Pastels&#8217;. Knight and Lindo then went their separate ways, and Knight continued to record and perform solo as In Embrace for the next single \u2018The Living Daylights\u2019 before recruiting Richard Formby on guitar. The second album \u2018Too\u2019 (Glass) was highly praised in the now-defunct \u2018Sounds\u2019 and \u2018ZigZag\u2019. Their single \u2018Your Heaven Scent\u2019 was hailed \u2018Single of the Month\u2019 in ZigZag. Supporting The Style Council at the Apollo Theatre in Coventry, In Embrace recruited a full-time drummer in Joby Palmer (Pre-Eyeless In Gaza) and Stephen Rees (ex-Tuffs) on bass, whereas Formby was replaced by Clive Dove (also ex-Tuffs). They emerged on Cherry Red Records with a final Knight\/Formby song, \u2018Shouting in Cafes\u2019. Next came their most widely-known song -\u2018This Brilliant Evening\u2019- their only track still available on CD on \u2018Ambition &#8211; The Cherry Red Story\u2019. Multi-instrumentalist Peter Becker of Eyeless In Gaza then joined the band for their subsequent performing and recording sessions. Major support dates with The Housemartins and Carmel followed before In Embrace returned to Glass Records with two new singles: \u2018A Room Upstairs\u2019 and \u2018What\u2019s Got into Me?\u2019. The band dissolved for financial problems, whereas their last album, 1987\u2019s \u2018Songs About Snogging\u2019, remains unreleased to this day.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>check out &#8211;&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eyelessingaza.com\/inembrace\/hist1.html\">http:\/\/www.eyelessingaza.com\/inembrace\/hist1.html<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEi_VUul-k-b-AbKBMZ3EHWc_g2wlCn6QSyMDnMvE-Qd4Lf00HId0uY2ZO_lEJFoRJben6mCHI8KxxMNonKWk6vIzjsscdxNhyoSEFcL7lPutptw-B6wmvwlbf3-u2Kr425bJ77RmVGLJ9GecaNgjTAn_b4yXweO-UYoghStcSDoFdMRRopDRTQ4D8osaw=s301\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"301\" data-original-width=\"223\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEi_VUul-k-b-AbKBMZ3EHWc_g2wlCn6QSyMDnMvE-Qd4Lf00HId0uY2ZO_lEJFoRJben6mCHI8KxxMNonKWk6vIzjsscdxNhyoSEFcL7lPutptw-B6wmvwlbf3-u2Kr425bJ77RmVGLJ9GecaNgjTAn_b4yXweO-UYoghStcSDoFdMRRopDRTQ4D8osaw=w474-h640\" width=\"474\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEhyBMy2BfprgeecUG5MTWf6W-XNbps3W2XjVCYvkZNPJ8NE7dV5nhbHbnOBsyWyOiL22PHCAm7skhK0xSmuifpW71TMMzXE6BsX5QSMs2m9U5ltPqpXK0Psg1mTCdF0ZOzH8pdyR-Bwt2xLy0GT-BXWByZRpmHyqyz2wAG5b8dmyINcyZ_6KK3tYai91w=s436\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"436\" data-original-width=\"291\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEhyBMy2BfprgeecUG5MTWf6W-XNbps3W2XjVCYvkZNPJ8NE7dV5nhbHbnOBsyWyOiL22PHCAm7skhK0xSmuifpW71TMMzXE6BsX5QSMs2m9U5ltPqpXK0Psg1mTCdF0ZOzH8pdyR-Bwt2xLy0GT-BXWByZRpmHyqyz2wAG5b8dmyINcyZ_6KK3tYai91w=w428-h640\" width=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In Embrace BAND INDEX Came out of Eyeless in Gaza.&nbsp; From http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/In+Embrace &#8220;In Embrace was a British pop-band of the 1980ies.
