THE EMBARRASSMENTReferred to by fans as "the best band you never heard of," the Embarrassment also holds the distinction of being Wichita, KS' most influential band. The group's eclectic yet distinctive sound wrapped a post-punk approach and a deadpan sense of humor around pop, country, disco, and metal elements, crafting songs that rivaled the work of better-known contemporaries like Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, and the Feelies. Though they toured and recorded consistently from their formation in 1979 till their breakup in 1983, the Embarrassment won only a small -- but intensely devoted -- following while they were an active outfit. However, the group's cult grew over the years, culminating in a reunion in the late '80s and the release of two anthologies in the '90s

In later years, Goffrier proclaimed the results of the band's first attempt to make a full album a bit "darker and moodier" in comparison to earlier efforts. Still, it's hard to hear the opening "Careen," with its blasting organ solo from Nichols and quick, ripping pace and crisp delivery as particularly angst-ridden -- Joy Division this isn't! The lyrics betray a little more concern, to be sure, but Nichols and company deliver them with less in the way of self-reflection and more in the spirit of inspired singalong. With that as a start, the Embarrassment plunged right into the rest of Death Travels West, where with Nichols' keyboard work gaining a new prominence the foursome found the connection between its nervy post-punk and early garage rock, and made it work...(AllMusic)
