Description
Talking Heads ORIG Sth African LP Little creatures EX '85 EMI David Byrne
Original South African LP released in 1985 on EMI Records. Cat: EMCJ(D) 2403521. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which has some age marks and is in VG+ condition.
Talking Heads' most immediately accessible album, Little Creatures eschewed the pattern of recent Heads albums, in which instrumental tracks had been worked up from riffs and grooves, after which David Byrne improvised melodies and lyrics. The songs on Little Creatures, most of which were credited to Byrne alone (with the band credited only with arrangements) sounded like they'd been written as songs. Perhaps as one result, the band had been streamlined, with extra musicians used only for specific effects rather than playing along as an ensemble. Byrne, who was singing in his natural range for once, frequently was augmented with backup singers. The overall result: ear candy. Little Creatures was a pop album, and an accomplished one, by a band that knew what it was doing.
Tracks : And she was/ Give me back my name/ Creatures of love/ The lady don't mind/ Perfect world/ Stay up late/ Walk it down/ Television man/ Road to nowhere.
