Young Marble Giants
Young Marble Giants were a Cardiff
post punk musical trio formed in
1978 (see
1978 in music). Their style featured minimal instrumentation provided by brothers Philip and Stuart Moxham, supporting the coolly plaintive vocals of singer, Alison Statton. Whilst signed to
UK independent
record label, Rough Trade they released two EPs, "Final Day" and "Testcard", and one acclaimed and very influential album entitled
Colossal Youth (a reference to the statues implied in their name).
Stuart Moxham formed The Gist after YMG split up in 1981.
Alison Statton formed Weekend.
