Lush washes of power pop meet edgy, irreverent quirky pop for a mix that is both comforting and uprooting. Brilliant pop.

...
A difficult one... No doubt...
Sometimes a band can come along and baffle you... confuse your senses... maybe even cloud your judgement... The Servant are such a band... these schizoid art-rock popsters love to play havoc with conventional taste buds owing to a chaotic amalgamation of influences... a meticulous untidiness... and improperly sinister lyrics...
But, like a journalist recently said of one of their high octane live gigs: "The Servant are like the product of some schoolboy larking about with a chemistry set: they're messy, sure, but they go off with one hell of a bang" (6Music).
But the world is often ironic...

The ServantЕвгений Келярский wrote on November 26, 2007
Same thing for me: SinCity trailer is one of the greatest trailers I've ever seen and big part of this success belongs to music. Cells and Liquefy are my favourite songs from this really great album.

I came to The Servant, like most people I know who discovered them, through Robert Rodriguez's sampling of their song, Cells, off this album on the Sin City soundtrack. And Cells is a killer, a thumping, hip popping alley cat stroll through very male aggression. Funny that RR got rid of the lyrics, which are delightfully pure suburban angst about sitting next to your life companion, eating TV dinners, bored out of your skull. And so's the primary tension of The Servant in this album, the nerd versus the rock star, the soft against the brutal. Orchestra is a plaintive, haunting wail that manages to be sentimental in a meaningful way--dodging the pop cliches while celebrating them. I mean, the damn song is about having an orchestra constantly playing in your soul, that could be very badly done, by say, Fallout Boy. Dan Black is powerfully talented, with a voice that calls to mind Placebo's front man or maybe Mars Volta. Or maybe he's just a plain flat out original heading up a band that refuses brutally to tour in America (where I live, dammit) and who has since followed up this album with more and greater wiggier music. But I prefer the sounds here, from the upbeat and rude boy esque Body to the floating solemnity of Glowing Logos, everybody has something to love, identify and cock their heads quizzically at in this album. It doesn't make you cry, it does make you laugh, but really it does neither. It's just Black, and it's also just you.
