Stick Figure Neighbourhood was the first album by the Burlington band Spoons. Released in 1981, it received some airplay on college stations, particularly the songs Conventional Beliefs and Red Light. It was their next album, Arias & Symphonies, and its best known single, "Nova Heart", that were to launch them to fame.
This album was recorded by Daniel Lanois at the Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario. Its liner notes collectively thank fellow contemporary Toronto bands The Diodes, Martha and the Muffins, and concert promoter Gary Cormier of "The Garys".
As Gordon Deppe mentions in his liner notes for Collectible Spoons, this collection of songs "is a bit rough around the edges, but there are things on it that [are] still very interesting and perplexing."
