About
Drawn from Memory is the second album by English rock band Embrace, released on 27 March 2000 by Mobetta, Hut, and Virgin Records. Following the release of their debut studio album The Good Will Out (1998), touring keyboardist Mickey Dale became an official member. Frontman Danny McNamara began suffering from writer's block, leaving guitarist Richard McNamara to handle the writing. Sessions were done at Batsford Park Manor in Gloucestershire, Olympic Studios in London, and Soundworks Studios in Leeds. Tristin Norwell and the band producer the entire album, bar "You're Not Alone", which was produced by Hugo Nicolson. Songs on the album centred around the arrangements and the interplay between instruments, instead of being melody-driven. Drawn from Memory received generally favourable reviews from critics, some seeing it as a progression from The Good Will Out, while others felt it was weaker than that release. The album charted at number eight in the United Kingdom; it would later be certified gold in that territory. All four of its singles charted within the top 40 of the Scottish and UK Singles Charts, with "You're Not Alone" reaching the highest at number 12 and 14, respectively. "Hooligan" was released as the lead single from Drawn from Memory on 1 November 1999, which was followed by a short tour of the United Kingdom. "You're Not Alone" was released as a single on 13 March 2000, preceded by a tour of Europe. They played a handful of festival shows, bookended by the "Save Me" and "I Wouldn't Wanna Happen to You" singles on 22 May and 7 August 2000, respectively. They went on another tour of the UK towards the end of the year.
