Sad Lovers & Giants have been on my distant radar for years and years. But I never really got around to listening to them. And I almost didn't again. I was listening to the very cool Sylvester album released by San Francisco based label Dark Entries. This label is so cool - anything from Blues Lawyer to Sylvester to Sad Lovers & Giants.
Sad Lovers & Giants (Watford, England) were a late 1970s early 1980s band - and they do have a sound from that era. Unmistakeable touchstones are The Cure, The Smiths and The Chameleons. But they also remind me of another great Dark Entries band reissue - Lives of Angels.
Honestly, do yourself a solid. Spend some time checking out the Dark Entries catalogue.
