Young Marble Giants - "Colossal Youth." 1980.


Tuesday Throwbacks
One of the only few videos I could find on youtube from Young Marble Giants. A "minimalist/lo-fi/post-punk" UK band that formed in the late 70s and broke up quickly after their debut album Colossal Youth. From wikipedia:
Nirvana singer-songwriter Kurt Cobain, said in a 1992 Melody Maker interview, that Colossal Youth was one of the five most influential records he had ever heard.
YMG's sound predates bands such as Broadcast, Au Revoir Simone, The Blow, etc. Check 'em out!
