The Creatures “Feast” 1983. The Creatures began as the side project for Siouxsie and the Banshees members Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie in 1981 and Feast was the first full-length release by the band. Atmospheric, ethereal and tribal, Feast hit #17 on the UK album charts with one single released from the album, “Miss The Girl,” which reached #21. Much of the record’s sound drew its inspiration from the lush terra of Hawaii, where Siouxsie and Budgie recorded it (most obviously: “Inoa’ole” which is Hawaiian for “no name” and “Gecko,” all tropical steel drums, bananas and lizards). But being Siouxsie, the tropics are not all surf and sunshine, rather The Creatures explore the dark underbelly of the tropical jungle and its hushed exotica. One of my favorite tracks is the hypnotic “Ice House,” perfect for a spaced-out hazy trance dance. “Sky Train” has an equally spacey feeling but amped to hyper speed. “Dancing on Glass” is another great selection, the song influenced by Indian musicals and the broken glass sound effects created by literal dancing on glass: Siouxsie and Budgie obliterated mirrors with their boots.
