Young Marble Giants: Final Day
1981


Young Marble Giants were formed in Cardiff, Wales in 1978. Adopting a less is more approach to their music. They simplified the songs and turned down the volume. Not wanting to use a loud ‘live’ drummer, they used tape recordings of a home made drum machine or no drums at all. This is their first single, released on Rough Trade Records a few months after their debut album, Colossal Youth. Final Days and the B-Sides Radio Silente and Cakewalking were all written by guitarist Stuart Moxham. They released one more EP, Test Patten without singer Alison Statton before splitting up.
