Young Marble Giants - Brand New Life

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Young Marble Giants were formed from the ashes of 'True Wheel' which also included friends Matthew Davis and Louise Porter (later signed to EMI) Stuart Moxham wrote the majority of the band's songs, and his writing was often deceptively simple-seeming, giving the YMG's classic work a fragile yet powerful quality. Their sound was characterised by Phil's prominent bass lines, Stuart's rhythm guitar (a mapleglo Rickenbacker 425) and Galanti electric organ lines and Statton's tentative vocals. Stuart Moxham's girlfriend Wendy Smith lent Stuart the money to buy the Rickenbacker. Smith, an art student in Cardiff (and later in Nottingham) at the time the YMG's were forming, photographed the band's US tour and also designed cover art for several singles and albums by Weekend and The Gist, Stuart Moxham's later project.
Very early in their existence, there was a fourth member of the band, Peter Joyce, who was a cousin of the Moxham brothers. Joyce was a telephone engineer and an electronics whizz, who had made his own synthesiser from a kit. This was a small touch-sensitive keyboard with an attache case-like box of circuitry, with several knobs and dials. It made sounds similar to Eno's synths in the early Roxy Music and Kraftwerk, who employed similar 'low-tech/high-tech' electronics. The YMGs used tape recordings of Peter's home-made drum machine (Roland didn't release the Boss DR-55, the first fully programmable drum machine, until 1979), since they had no desire to have a drummer. They were also interested in (by today's standards primitive) state of the art effects devices such as ring modulators and reverb units, with the emphasis always on simplicity.
Their first vinyl release was on the compilation LP Is The War Over? on Cardiff DIY label, Z Block Records, in October 1979. While signed to UK independent record label, Rough Trade Records the YMGs released two EPs, Final Day and Testcard, and one acclaimed and very influential album, Colossal Youth (a reference to the Early Greek 'Kouroi' marble statues, from which the YMGs took the inspiration for their name.)

I bought the YMG album in 1980 and 44 years still it still sounds out of this world
Hello! I am the other, oldest Moxham brother, YMG...........Gertlush my dears!
Félicitations!
Damn, sup dude?
Belated greetings, Richard. As a lifelong YMG fan I am pleased to say that I have recently become a Facebook friend of your brother Stuart. Don’t worry, I don’t bug him with endless questions about the 40th anniversary edition of Colossal Youth!
🤠 My eternal gratitude, partner.
Gert Lush, indeed. I actually have the t-shirt.
Only just found this band. I am a 43 year old woman and music has always been the anchor and I thought I knew about things.... no. Had no idea this fantastic band existed. LOVE FINDING NEW STUFF. new to me. ❤
I can't get enough of this song! I've been playing it on repeat for months now 😅
One of the most underrated band 😎
;)
Only by those who didn't rate them. The rest of us always thought they were great.
Love it!! Remember when I came across this song as a 10 year old boy, fell in love with her voice, and still is!!
How...just in God's name how...can this song be 44 years old...???
Love them so much. Wish they'd made more music
Thia song is one of the first examples of true alternative rock
I was 16 when this song hit me like a ton of bricks at my favourite (now gone) disco. Back in 1993, so it was already an astonishing 13 year old song by then, wow. They used to save it for last, to kind of close off the dancefloor and send us lost souls home. Didn't work though, we would just wait for YMG to play before we even considered a "home" to go back to. Unending gratitude for this one song ❤
Love this song with all of my heart. Simple and brilliant
i wish there was more young marble giants….
And so I made a brand new life
fashioned out of brand new strife
🥺
Love this band
So bad when you went away
Nothing I could do or say
And now we are a lonely two
Sit at home and watch the tube..
I've been hurt before,
Sorrow knocking on my door
Pain..
And so I make a brand-new-life
Fashioned out of brand-new strife
And when I hear the doorbell ring
I can never let them in to me..
Pain is in me every day
When you went it came to stay
Come and be a cure for me
Make the tears come out of me..
I’ve been hurt before,
Sorrow knocking on my door
Pain..
So bad when you went away
Nothing I could do or say
And when I hear the doorbell ring
I can never let them in to me…
"waiting for mr right" is in my top ten songs of all time!!!!
Amazing simplicity what stroked me first Time I heard this in Risiko bar/Berlin 1981 !
This is my go to band for poopy time, thanks.
Awesome, and a little bit outstanding.
So beautiful
LOVE FROM POLAND !!!!!
This is so great! Wow 1980!!!!!
This is amazing, can’t stop listening.
Ils ont tout cassé !
brittle & immortal...Thanks VJ#1 & Juvan
I bought 'Final Day' when it came out. Long since sold it. Another regret.☹
this audio is impeccable!
except it's only at 240p :(
Gloriously 'low fi' - Before the term even existed.
Amazing.
the simplicity of this song kills me. doing anymore would ruin the song. its perfect the way it is
In the notes to the CD (and yes i had the vinyl but in the notes to the CD), apparently at one gig someone called out "play rock n' roll". That git ought have got his arse out of the early seventies, great as they were too, but sorry, this is rock n' roll.
I used to listen to this in my car on the 405. It´s a timeless piece.
that guitar sounds so skinny and sexy.. as does the rest of the band!
Ace
c est de la balle
It’s very Nice! 👏👏👏
una genialidad
Less is more. Love !
Can we all just take a little hard hit at the very notion that this was out in 1980...? Seriously 90s before that even was.
So much absolutely fantastic music came out of the early eighties. I was eighteen at the time and blown away by it all
Superbe … !
Güzel ha
Hello, I am the original, the atavist, the inventor of Moxhamhood.............Poino flash my birches!
underrated
Used to play this on my guitar in the good old times all the time.
what barre chords are used here? hard to see
So bad when you went away
Nothing I could do or say
And now we are a lonely two
Sit at home and watch the tube
I've been hurt before,
Sorrow knocking on my door
Pain
And so I make a brand-new-life
Fashioned out of brand-new strife
And when I hear the doorbell ring
I can never let them in to me
Pain is in me every day
When you went it came to stay
Come and be a cure for me
Make the tears come out of me...
I have been working with the Young Marble Giants on a new release of my concert footage (which you have appropriated here without any credits to me) and I think they will also release an album reissue. The new film, "Young Marble Giants Live at Hurrah" should be out on DVD sometime before Christmas 2020. It is in the widescreen 16x9 format, higher quality visuals than this early release.

dying to see the dvd made widely available its already xmas 2021! please
I know I would purchase it, but it is 2024 already, is it out there for me?
They remind me a bit of cranes
looks like one of the guitars is a early fender ? duo sonic or music master ?
Further down here is the text !!
where’s the original sound to this does it exist
Doesn't get more original than this and trust me, I have looked. Wicked song still catches me off guard after all these years. So pure and simple yet so damn strong.
Gracias al genial e inolvidable kurk cobain conocí a este gran y raro grupo musica simple pero agradable para mis oidos
I came out to hear them for Kurt Cobain
It’s far far far better here ! Not for looser.
does anyone have the chord for this song?
Am, F, C, G
And the bridge is E Major.
Who from cobain?))
UberGeneral 808 I found this band because of him🙏🏻
I heard “Credit in the Straight World” (probably on KEXP), which of course, was covered by Hole. Blew my mind because I didn't even know it was a cover.
Alison Statton is one of the most beautiful sexiest women ever!
I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but if you mean it, then YOU and I have to be the only ones who think that. Every time I say that she is pretty people react like ''really, man?'' I dunno why but I find her so attractive, kissable and huggable AF ahhhhhh
@@sonial1839 yep im only watching this band cuz of her
I love the song but the metronome-like ticking sound in the background is annoying. It would be cool if someone did a cover without it
I doubt you could hate a metronome more than I have all my life (forced piano student here), but if there is any redemption to it this is definitely it.
John Lennon could've listened to this
lip synced
You couldn't get it wronger if you wanted to. This is as genuine as it ever got.
