In the West is the second full-length album by indie rock band Silkworm, released in 1994.[7] It was the band's first full-length album to be produced by their long-time friend Steve Albini; the first official recording that the band recorded with him was the His Absence Is A Blessing EP.
In March 2019, Comedy Minus One announced they would be pressing In The West on vinyl for the first time to celebrate the album's 25th anniversary.[8] The reissue was released in January 2020.[9]
Trouser Press wrote that "the exquisitely spacious album's deep rhythmic caverns invite and demand casual lingering."[10]
