Description
Anthemic. Angular. Inscrutable. These are all words that could describe Wichita, Kansas indie-rock-cum blister-pop band The Embarrassment. Musician Bob Fay (Sebadoh, Cardinal, Lost Hours) discovered them at the end their short-but-prolific existence, after they moved to Boston and eventually splintered off into other bands - Big Dipper and The Del Fuegos to name two - leaving behind a slew of excellent releases including the 1983 mini-LP 'Death Travels West'.
