Sad Lovers And Giants

British Post-Punk Ethereal Wave Band

Sad Lovers and Giants are a post-punk band from the UK that formed in 1980. The group is known for their atmospheric sound, which blends post-punk, new wave, and psychedelic influences. They gained a dedicated following in the 1980s with their ethereal guitar work, synthesizers, and introspective lyrics. The band's lineup has seen changes over the years, but founding members Garçe Allard (vocals) and Tristan Garel-Funk (guitar) have been integral to their sound. Sad Lovers and Giants released their debut album "Epic Garden Music" in 1982, which was followed by "Feeding the Flame" in 1983. Although they never achieved mainstream success, they have maintained a cult following and their music has been influential within the post-punk genre. After a period of inactivity, the band reunited in the late '80s and continued to perform and release new material. Their body of work includes several albums and compilations, with "Where The Light Shines Through: 1981-2017" being an anthology that spans their career. Despite not breaking into the commercial mainstream, Sad Lovers and Giants have left a lasting legacy on the alternative music scene with their distinctive sound and emotive compositions.
