YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS

One of the quirkiest and most idiosyncratic groups to emerge from the early British new wave indie scene, Young Marble Giants (from Cardiff, Wales) were not so much new wave in sound as in strategy. They subverted conventional pop/rock methods by stripping both song construction and instrumentation to its essence. A reverberant funky bass, a shrill organ, short choppy bursts of guitar chords, a softly clicking drum machine -- that was all the trio needed. The hauntingly spacious sound was made both more intimate and foreboding by Alison Statton's coolly intoned, almost neutral vocals. The words were more important for their mood than their content. Pop minimalism of the first order, it now stands as one of the first fully formed expressions of the subgenre that would be called post-punk

 Young Marble Giants' Colossal Youth is a collection of sparse, evocative tunes emphasizing 

Alison Statton's floating vocals and minimal guitar/organ/bass/drum machine arrangements. 

Comparable to little else from its time or since, this is rock music at its most austere...(AllMusic)
