| | Album notes | British trio Young Marble Giants were the Raymond Carver of the post-punk era. While the band's lone album, 1980's COLOSSAL YOUTH, incorporated the influences of punk, dub, and funk as per the spirit of the times, these sounds were filtered through a homespun, minimalist sensibility. Recorded dry, with no reverb or other effects, the scratchy guitar, bobbing bass, and thrift-store organ are transmuted into a striking modernist tableaux, with Alison Statton's appropriately affectless voice floating above. COLOSSAL YOUTH prefigured post-rock by some 15 years, but this generous repackaging appending EP and single cuts as well as early recordings and live material is a testament to their lasting influence.
| | Editorial reviews | 4 stars out of 5 -- [C]oolly minimal and warmly human, all understated guitar and bass lines, chintzy organ riffs, and cheap-drum-machine click tracks..
Spin
4 stars out of 5 -- Their one album, COLOSSAL YOUTH, was a hit in the U.K. post-punk scene of the 1980s, but its cult has just kept growing over the years.
