About this album

Go West is a sharp, hook-heavy debut that helped define mid-1980s British synth-pop with a warmer pop-rock edge. Released in 1985, it introduced Peter Cox and Richard Drummie as a songwriter duo with a knack for glossy melodies, compact arrangements and vocal harmonies built for radio. The album’s best-known song, We Close Our Eyes, became a major international hit and set the tone for the record’s blend of sleek keyboards, driving rhythm and accessible chorus writing. Polished, confident and commercially astute, Go West established the band as one of the era’s more durable pop acts.
