They're quote good, aren't they. <3

never heard of 'em.

never heard of 'em.

 

I have heard their name mentioned many times over the years, but I could not tell you any records they would have released. As they were a band who were critically adored, I have an idea of their importance to the indie music scene and as a reference I guess they would be similar to mentioning The Field Mice, Talulah Gosh or Sarah Records in an article.

 

There is also an American band called The Young Fresh Fellows and they were releasing records around the same time that The Young Marble Giants were active. As both acts had similar names I would get the two acts mixed up as my knowledge of them has remained vague. I cannot tell you anything about The Young Fresh Fellows apart from the fact that their name was mentioned in a song called “Twisting” by They Might Be Giants [an indie duo that I started liking back in the 1980s, a few years before their “Flood” album was released and an act that I could not mistake for the YMG].

They're really incredible and minimalist. Clearly bands like The xx take after them. Discovered them randomly a while ago via a friend and I've been obsessed since.
