Captured Tracks Reissues More from the Servants
One of the great things about the modern technological age is that bands that we once thought were gone, or never even knew about, are beginning to resurface. A while back I was first introduced to The Servants, and I’ve been on board ever since, though the band is no longer an active group. They survive through the hard work of Captured Tracks and the label’s continuous efforts to reissue forgotten acts. The label will be releasing Small Time/Hey Hey We’re the Manques as a double LP on December 3rd, and it couldn’t get here soon enough. A lot of people make nods to the Go-Betweens, but it’s hard to ignore the group’s evolving role in the early establishment of indiepop, not to mention the heralded C86 tapes.
