Formed in 1997, around singer-songwriter Graham Langley, it was 1999 that (alongside other obscure acts such as Coldplay) NME named them as one of the best new bands to watch. Later that year they released the debut 7” single “The Moving Air” on Leicester’s Pickled Egg label. This record received great press and narrowly missed being NME’s single of the week, as the weather at the time was “too sunny”.
They followed this a year later with the five track mini-album “Dirty Pillows”, which MOJO Magazin described as: “Fans of minimalist heartbreak will be wringing their hands with joy over Savoy Grand’s debut mini-LP ‘Dirty Pillows’: think of it as an English take on Slint, with hints of Soft Machine and Mark Hollis.” “Dirty Pillows” (combined with the 7” tracks) saw a mainland Europe release on Glitterhouse Records in early 2001.
Their debut album: “Burn The Furniture”- A nine track epic, recorded over several weekends in 2001. Where earlier recordings captured the live frailty of the band, this release is more focussed and distilled - Using dramatic dynamics, string quartets, and subtle electronics to open up the dark lyrical world inside the songs.
Following the release of “ Burn The Furniture” Savoy Grand were left scattered around the UK, wondering how to follow their debut LP.

Great band, however do not buy off amazon. 26USD on amazon, just 4.75 Euros on glitterhouse. That's 6USD. I'd pay 26 bucks for this band but that's 4 times the price. Thought i'd share this info for those buying =)
