Young Marble Giants: Colossal Youth (180g) Vinyl LP
LoneĀ studio album from Cardiff's Young Marble Giants. Colossal Youth was originally released in 1980, and featured a sparse and minimal sound that set the band apart from their peers. Stuart Moxham's nervous and jittery guitar, Philip Moxham's sparse bass parts, and the intermittent clicks and pops from a drum machine; nothing takes up more space than it has to. And above it all sits the calm and cool vocals of singer Alison Statton. It's hard to imagine Olympia's innovative K Records existing with out the influence of Young Marble Giants. Despite only releasing this album, a handful of singles and one Peel Session, the band made a lasting impact on indie music. Includes the songs: "Brand - New - Life," "Searching For Mr. Right," and "N.I.T.A." Fifteen tracks in all. Released by Domino on 180 gram vinyl with a digital download.
