1983’s Death Travels West finds The Embarrassment as anthemic, angular, and inscrutable as they ever were, with a concept record in the loosest sense of the word.

Angular post-punk and edgy punk showcasing catchy melodies and harmonies that sound contagiously uplifting.

Lyrical density meets Manifest Destiny with a chugging rush of guitars that'll send you pogo-ing across the American landscape. It’s a catchy, smart and ambitious effort from these legendary progenitors of indie rock... err, “Blister Pop”.

Third in a series of reissues on Last Laugh Records, Death Travels West is available on vinyl again after almost 40 years.
