Little Creatures is the sixth studio album by American new wave band Talking Heads, released in June 1985. The album examines themes of Americana and incorporates elements of country music, with many of the songs featuring steel guitar. It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll and is the band's biggest-selling studio album, with over two million copies sold in the US. The cover art was created by outsider artist Howard Finster, and was selected as album cover of the year by Rolling Stone magazine.

Exclusively for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). At the time Talking Heads served as critics darlings number one and each successive album transmogrified the band into what felt like an entirely new manifestation. One miracle just kept following another. Their second album was arguably superior to their first. Then the churning paranoid "Fear of Music" gave way to one of the most shocking rebirths in pop music history with the chilling and effervescent "Remain in Light. On it, African-inspired rhythms and stream of consciousness lyrics exposed a new way of musical being to an entire generation.
