S4U #70 : Young Marble Giants

C’est la rentrée de Slippery ! On vous propose de passer une saison entière à parler de groupes qui n’ont produit qu’un album, mais alors quel album ! Pour entamer notre OUvroir de Playlists Indies POtentielles (OUPIPO), on vous parle ce mois-ci des Young Marble Giants, qui ont mine de rien inventé la pop minimaliste en 1980, juste parce que le reste du post-punk faisait trop de bruit…
