Young Marble Giants are an obscure band formed in Cardiff in 1978. Their only LP “Colossal Youth” was recorded in just four days for £1000 and released in 1980 on Rough Trade Records. The band was able to record fast and cheaply by using many of their first takes, in a deliberate attempt to keep the music 'alive'. Their essential sound is constructed by the brothers musicians Philip and Stuart Moxham and gravitates around the voice of Alison Statton. This unique work conjugates the post punk sound in a minimal way as never heard before, Colossal Youth has definitely been a bright comet. Nobody knows why they made just one album… maybe once they reached the essential there was nothing else to add.
