Young Marble Giants is a Welsh post-punk band that was formed in Cardiff, Wales, in 1978. The band consisted of Alison Statton on vocals and brothers Philip and Stuart Moxham on minimalist instrumentation. They released their only studio album, Colossal Youth, in 1980, along with two EPs and a John Peel session recording. After the band disbanded, Statton went on to form Weekend and later became part of The Marine Girls. Meanwhile, the Moxham brothers formed Everything but the Girl and continued making music for various labels.
This influential band created a unique sound that combined Statton's haunting vocals with stripped-down instrumentals. Their music continues to inspire artists across genres today.

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).
