about
Sad Lovers & Giants are a post-punk band from Watford, England who formed in 1980. The original lineup included vocalist Garçe (Simon) Allard, guitarist Tristan Garel-Funk, bassist Cliff Silver, drummer Nigel Pollard and keyboardist/saxophonist David Wood. They released their first 3-song 7” EP “Clé” followed by the "Colourless Dream” single both in 1981 and “Lost In A Moment” 7” single in 1982. They released two studio albums, Epic Garden Music (1982) and Feeding the Flame (1983), before temporarily disbanding. In 2016, Dark Entries released Lost In A Sea Full of Sighs, a collection of the band’s early work, but the record incorrectly included 1988 versions of the two songs from the “Lost In A Moment”. For this repress, the tracklist has been corrected to include the original 1982 recordings of “Lost In A Moment” and “The Tightrope Touch”.
The 9 tracks of Lost In A Sea Full of Sighs include all seven songs from their first three 7” singles plus one demo and one song recorded for a John Peel Session in 1981. Lead singer and songwriter Garce Allard was influenced by the works of Sartre, Orwell, Huxley, Dali and Kafka and especially T.S. Elliot’s ‘The Wasteland’.
