▌░ ░▐
▌░ Much has been written about Young Marble GiantsÆ small, ░▐
▌░ perfect catalogue, which contained roughly two-dozen songs, ░▐
▌░ nearly each one a perfect gem. Less is known about his long ░▐
▌░ wilderness years after the break-up of his first professional ░▐
▌░ band. His next project, The Gist, chopped YMGÆs minimalism ░▐
▌░ into a new sound. "This Is Love, Public Girls and Fool For A ░▐
▌░ Valentine showed his songs to be razorsharp, but the albumÆs ░▐
▌░ fragmented pieces were a step too far for some, though even ░▐
▌░ the strangest, Carnival Headache, when cast in sunlight by ░▐
▌░ Alison StattonÆs combo Weekend, was as fine a song as any ░▐
▌░ heÆd written - and Love At First Sight became a ░▐
▌░ million-seller when covered by Etienne Daho. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Then Stuart disappeared. A mid-90s resurgence led to fine ░▐
▌░ albums done on low budgets, before more silence followed. The ░▐
▌░ GistÆs 2018Æs release Holding Pattern - unexpected and then ░▐
▌░ quickly followed by YMG singer Alison StattonÆs first new ░▐
▌░ album with her accompanist Spike in two decades, adding fuel ░▐
▌░ to public interest. The Devil Laughs, recorded a few years ░▐
▌░ back, is a compelling addition to the canon of the 21st ░▐
▌░ century songwriting. StuartÆs generally unadorned musical ░▐
▌░ presentation does not hinder his appreciation for the skills ░▐
▌░ of Louis Philippe, whose iconic arrangements across an array ░▐
▌░ of ╔l label albums inspire the fierce devotion of aficionados ░▐
▌░ around the world. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Nor does the unvarnished solidity of StuartÆs arrangements ░▐
▌░ deter Louis from hearing possibilities for their presentation ░▐
▌░ in styles which take inspiration from the perfection of ░▐
▌░ 1960Æs studio technology that led to the rise of Brian ░▐
▌░ Wilson, Burt Bacharach, along with less-recognised names such ░▐
▌░ as Bones Howe and Roy Halee. Tidy Away is Young Marble Giants ░▐
▌░ redux, though the backing vocals hint at maturity which band ░▐
▌░ didnÆt live to see. Fighting To Lose, written with producer ░▐
▌░ Ken Brake, would pass as a worthy b-side to Bridge Over ░▐
▌░ Troubled Water, and although the songs are otherwise ░▐
▌░ StuartÆs, Louis fans will delight at several, like Love ░▐
▌░ Hangover and Sky Over Water, which display his style and ░▐
▌░ production genius as succinctly as anything on his own ░▐
▌░ albums. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ The Devil Laughs is as out of its time as Colossal Youth was ░▐
▌░ - its subtle but immediate beauty, devoid of ôrockö, is a ░▐
▌░ recording best understood in the light of those obscure ░▐
▌░ groundbreakers who inspired it - the faux barbershop vocals ░▐
▌░ of Smile-era Beach Boys, the studio lustre of Tom WilsonÆs ░▐
▌░ work with Simon & Garfunkel, a dash of The Swingle Sisters ░▐
▌░ and French chanson - along with enough hints of Young Marble ░▐
▌░ GiantÆs modernist folk abstraction to satisfy longtime fans. ░▐
▌░ The Devil Laughs is a small masterpiece of pure expression." ░▐
