Stick Figure Neighbourhood

Stick Figure Neighbourhood is the debut studio album by the Canadian new wave band Spoons, released 1981 by Ready Records. It received some airplay, and went to the top of the Canadian University radio charts (specifically with songs "Conventional Beliefs" and "Red Light"), but it was their next studio album, Arias & Symphonies (1982) – and its best known single, "Nova Heart" – that were to bring them to prominence.

Despite the album's lack of singles and placement on any mainstream chart, Stick Figure Neighbourhood was well-received by the media. Journalists wrote how the album was "one of the most imaginative debut discs to appear in a long time and that the band had achieved "an exhilarating blend of textural...melodies, brittle bass lines, rhythmic guitar riffs, and consistent percussion". Many already began to believe that this album was the beginning of the band's bright career.
