Embrace is the debut record and the only release by the American post-hardcore[4] band Embrace.[3]

The album, released by Dischord Records,[6] consists of songs composed and performed in the context of Washington, D.C.'s 1985 Revolution Summer by one of its mainstay acts.[7] Although recorded between November 1985 and February 1986, the album would not be released until 1987, after the demise of that social movement and the dissolution of the band.[2][3][8]
