Sad Lovers & Giants are a post-punk band hailing from Watford, England, that formed in 1980. Steeped in the ethereal wave and neo-psychedelic soundscapes, they quickly became part of the burgeoning post-punk movement. The band's lineup, centered around vocalist Garçe Allard and guitarist Tristan Garel-Funk, created a distinct sound characterized by atmospheric guitars, saxophones, and synthesizers, setting them apart from their contemporaries. Their early work, particularly the seminal album "Epic Garden Music," gained them a dedicated following and critical acclaim within the underground music scene.

Throughout the years, Sad Lovers & Giants faced several hiatuses and lineup changes, but the core dreamy and melancholic appeal of their music remained intact. As a result, the band has experienced something of a renaissance with an audience yearning for the nostalgic echoes of the 80s post-punk era, as well as with newer listeners discovering their expansive back catalogue. Notable works from their discography include albums like "Feeding the Flame" and the long-spanning compilation "Where the Light Shines Through: The Bigger Picture 1981-2017," which showcases the band's enduring influence and continuous evolution over the decades. Their most recent releases, such as "Asylum Town" and "Mission Creep," attest to the group's unwavering creativity and commitment to their unique blend of post-punk and ethereal melody.
