The Canadian experimental New Wave band Land of Giants released just one LP, Cannibal Dolls/Seven Men, in early 1983. Three singles were pulled from the album, none of which made much of an impact on the charts. Anya Varda, Henry Jesiak, and the rest of the crew then proceeded to quietly disband. "Room With A View" was their best song, and it still sounds fresh today. Nobody knows why a particular band didn't make it big, but in the case of Land of Giants, it certainly wasn't due to a lack of talent. "Room With A View" is at #159 on my Top 200.

The Strokes and Interpol both owe them big!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite good. It's a shame they didn't do better in the charts/
