From The Desk Of Young Marble Giants’ Stuart Moxham: Aging

Few indie artists have influenced as many musicians as Stuart Moxham has in his career. Whether as a member of Young Marble Giants, the G!st or solo, the Cardiff, Wales, native has produced one of the most distinctive catalogs of the past 30 years. His latest release, Personal Best (hABIT), is a 20-track compilation of solo material from 1981 to the present. Moxham and the other members of YMG have performed together again recently, and many longtime fanatics are hoping the group finally records a follow-up to 1980’s Colossal Youth, its sole album. Personal Best, however, proves that Moxham has turned out plenty of worthy music on his own. Moxham will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with him.

Moxham: It’s so wonderful to be comfortable in one’s world and in one’s skin—both things the absence of which which really bug you as a youth, when you don’t even have a concept of them. Apart from the blissful lack of existential pain it brings, you can turn your energy to positive stuff that you need to do.
