Stick Figure Neighbourhood is the debut studio album by 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[4][5] (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.

Stick Figure Neighbourhood was partly inspired by the band's interest in progressive rock, where an emphasis is placed on creating atmospheres as opposed to rhythms.

[7] The track "Ice Age" was originally called "Elephant's Graveyard" but was changed due to the Boomtown Rats' song of the same name.

Journalists wrote how the album was "one of the most imaginative debut discs to appear in a long time"[8] and that the band had achieved "an exhilarating blend of textural...melodies, brittle bass lines, rhythmic guitar riffs, and consistent percussion".
