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.
