    “A Cowboy’s Holiday” is Servent’s second album release on Downstream Records some seven years on from “Artifacts of Life” in 2013.

    The work of label owner Damon Vallero under the guise of Servent, it was made using modular equipment embracing the unpredictable nature of the machines to generate sounds that subtly evolve with enough rough edges to intrigue the listener. Comprising seventeen pieces that range from the neo ambient through granular spectral harmonics to disordered concrete tech, there is always an element of the melodic to be found within the music.

Review in Electronic Sound Magazine

Starkly minimal and "made with modulars", the latest missive from London's mysterious Servent perhaps resembles Marty Rev's reflective solo reveries as it ebbs, flows and pulses through 17 microcosmic synth sketches.

Highlights include the gorgeous church-like clouds of 'Cascading Houses' and the pastoral drift of 'Like Heroes' disrupted by mangled voices. The mood can abruptly change between gauzy warped narrative ('More Guns Make News') and robotic flatulence ('Spray Obsession'). Topically this fearless sonic creation sounds like it was made in isolation.
