I don't remember if this has been mentioned before, but there was a band in the 1960's called H. P. Lovecraft
Featuring two strong singers (who often sang dual leads), hauntingly hazy arrangements, and imaginative songwriting that drew from pop and folk influences, H.P. Lovecraft was one of the better psychedelic groups of the late '60s. The band was formed by ex-folky George Edwards in Chicago in 1967.

My friend gave me a copy of the CD. Maybe I will put up a sample at some point
Or at least a review.

I've got one or two old vinyl albums of theirs, and they were pretty good. Their music wasn't really Lovecraft themed, but they had a song called "At the Mountains of Madness". Their music holds up better than a lot of more popular bands from that day. They sound similar to a better-known band called "Love", which is a compliment.

dementia13,
I have this band's CD, I think it's the first two albums. There all right. Other than the song mentioned above I think they did a song called The White Ship and maybe The Shunned House. It's been a long time since I 've listened to it. It's worth pickin up.
Also Love is an awesome 60s band. Great stuff.
