A cornerstone of the post-punk and dream pop movement, Feeding The Flame sees Sad Lovers & Giants refining their atmospheric and melancholic sound. Released in 1983, the album blends ethereal guitar melodies, hypnotic basslines, and melancholic saxophone accents, creating a deeply emotive and immersive listening experience.

Tracks like “Big Tracks Little Tracks”, “Man of Straw”, and “Close to the Sea” showcase the band’s ability to craft introspective yet expansive soundscapes, with Garçe Allard’s detached yet haunting vocal delivery adding an extra layer of emotional depth.

For fans of The Chameleons, The Sound, and early The Cure, Feeding The Flame stands as an essential release, capturing the essence of melancholy, beauty, and introspection that defined the best of the ’80s post-punk underground.
