Disinterest is the first album by British indie band The Servants. The record was released in 1990 on Paperhouse Records.

Context[]

Luke Haines describes Disinterest as "art rock, ten years too late and fifteen years too early".[1][2]

Tim Peacock at Record Collector magazine said of Disinterest in 2013 that: "while it's recently been dusted down for critical reappraisal, it remains out of print."[3] Matthew Fiander at PopMatters called it "a great record.... Angular and bittersweet."[4]

Mojo magazine included Disinterest in its December 2011 list of the greatest British indie records of all time.[5]

The Servants' second album, Small Time, was recorded in 1991 but had to wait twenty-one years for its 2012 release on Cherry Red Records.

Release history[]

Paperhouse Records issued Disinterest in LP and CD formats in July 1990. The record is not available. Its long unavailability is explained in the notes to 2012's Small Time album: Disinterest is "stuck in an irretrievable record company quagmire, where it looks set to remain."[6]

Paperhouse released the track "Look Like a Girl" as a 7" single in August 1990.
