The Servant

British band fronted by Dan Black. Early work blended pop and electronic influences; the album How To Destroy A Relationship (produced by Jim Lowe) moved toward a stripped-down guitar/bass/drums sound. The album's singles did not achieve notable chart success according to the DeBaser review.

Frontman Dan Black is named in reviews; How To Destroy A Relationship was produced by Jim Lowe (credited in the DeBaser review). Their debut received more attention in parts of Europe than in the U.K. (per the review).

DeBaser's review (GrantNicholas) treats How To Destroy A Relationship as a stylistic retreat from the band's earlier electronic-tinged pop toward stripped-down guitar/bass/drums. The change, with production by Jim Lowe, is judged uneven: some tracks like "Brains", "Save Me Now" and "Moonbeams" stand out, but the singles failed to chart high and the album is seen as a modest, flawed effort.
