Formed in 1981 by vocalist Garce Allard and guitarist Tristan Garel-Funk Sad Lovers And Giants built a bridge between 1970s English progressive/folk-rock (Strawbs, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, King Crimson) and 1980s American folk-rock (R.E.M.). Their albums Epic Garden Music (Midnight, 1982) and Feeding the Flame (Midnight, 1984) offered a emphatic, romantic, pastoral, fairy-tales. The band reformed with a new keyboardist and second guitarist Tony McGuinness to record The Mirror Test (Midnight, 1987). But Treehouse Poetry will be released only years later.

Formati nel 1981 dal cantante Garce Allard e dal chitarrista Tristan Garel-Funk i Sad Lovers and Giants hanno costituito un punto di passaggio tra il folk rock/progressive inglese degli anni 70 (Strawbs, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, King Crimson) e il folk-rock americano degli anni 80 (R.E.M.). I loro albums Epic Garden Music (Midnight, 1982) e Feeding the Flame (Midnight, 1984) hanno offerto fiabe empatiche, romantiche e pastorali. La band si e’ riformata con una nuova tastierista ed il secondo chitarrista Tony McGuinness per registrare l’album The Mirror Test (Midnight, 1987). L’album Treehouse Poetry sara’ realizzato soltanto qualche anno dopo.
