Untitled

Feast is the first album to be released by British duo The Creatures. It was number 17 in the U.K charts[1] and The "Miss The Girl" single was number 21. [2]

Feast was originally released in may 1983, two years after the "Wild Things" ep. It was entirely remastered in 1997 and re-reissued as part of the A Bestiary Of compilation.

Critical reception

Record Mirror praised the album by the note of 4/5 and Paul Prayag wrote "Siouxsie and Budgie are wondering deeper and deeper into a jungle that looks like having no easily definable boundaries". [3]

Album History

Several songs are about their experiences on that island, including "Festival of Colours" and "A Strutting Rooster".

The song title "Inoa 'Ole" is Hawaiian for "No Name". "Ice House" was inspired by an obscure television play. "Dancing on Glass" is based on an Indian musical: during the studio-session, sounds of broken glass were created by Siouxsie and Budgie dancing on broken mirrors with tough shoes on.

"Miss The Girl" is a combination of the love affair and a crash car : it's inspired by the book "Crash" by J.G. Ballard.
