Welsh post-punk band Young Marble Giants released one LP and then, like their vanishing portraits on the album's cover, disappeared. Yet their lasting appeal owes itself to the band's singular approach to punk rock. Instead of using overt political ideologies, abrasive sounds, and antiestablishment appearances to rebel, Young Marble Giants used restraint, ambiguity, and silence, redefining the genre's sense of rebellion. But where did these radical ideas come from? By tracing Colossal Youth's logistical, geographical, ideological, and 20th-century art historical origins, Colossal Youth is established as a brilliant record, a cult favorite, and a continuing influence on musicians today.
