Welsh post-punk band Young Marble Giants released one LP in 1980
and then, like their vanishing portraits on the album's cover,
disappeared. Even though Colossal Youth received positive reviews
and sold surprisingly well, Young Marble Giants quickly slid into
the margins of rock 'n' roll history-relegated to cult status among
post-punk and indie rock fans. Their lasting appeal owes itself to
the band's singular approach and response to punk rock. Instead of
employing overt political ideology and abrasive sounds to rebel
against the status quo, Young Marble Giants filled their songs with
restraint, ambiguity, and silence. The trio opened up their music
to new sounds and ideas that redefined punk's rules of rebellion.
Where did their rebellious ideas and impulses come from? By tracing
Colossal Youth's artistic origins from Ancient Greece to the
20th-century avant-garde, Michael Blair and Joe Bucciero uncover
the intricacies of Young Marble Giants' idiosyncratic take on music
in the post-punk age. Emerging from the gaps in between the notes
are new ways of hearing the history of punk, the political and
economic turbulence of the late 1970s, and the world that surrounds
us right now.
