Young Marble Giants

I knew I had their album "Colossal Youth" in Japan but I could not find it for the last visit there. I've been listening their songs since I finally dug the CD out of pile of my junks on my latest visit to Japan. Young Marble Giants are a band from Wales, UK in 1978-1980. Their minimalistic sounds and Alison Statton's vocal are quite unique. They influenced REM and Nirvana. I like the way Bass sounds. It's exciting. Oh, I like Alison's braded hair too.

She looks pretty dull while singing! But I like the way she sings.

"If you think the world is
a clutter of existence
Falling through the air
with minimal resistance
You could be right, how would I know?
Colossal youth is showing the way to go" I like their minimalistic sound too!
