Episode 62: Danny McNamara, Embrace

Yeah, it's been a while hasn't it. Have you signed up to the Spoook Substack yet though? You haven't? Oh, go do that now. Wonderful things are happening.

So here's the deal. I listened to Danny being interviewed by my friend Katy on her excellent podcast, Sound Effects. She’s interviewed me for it before, too. You should check that out, really. But her interview with Danny McNamara of British indie legends Embrace - a band I've always greatly enjoyed - is really quite extraordinary, and the singer talks in depth about his history with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I, as you no doubt are aware, have OCD too, so I thought I’d get Danny on the blower for our own conversation – about broken brains and putting them back together again. And, of course, the group's excellent eighth studio album, How to Be a Person Like Other People. 

Now that’s a poignant album title if ever I heard one…
