Little Creatures

Weymouth told the New York Times in May 1985, a month before release, that it was fun to relax and just play without feeling the need to be avant-garde all the time. Pitchfork's Madison Bloom noted that the album reached 20 on the Billboard 200 in July and called it the band's most approachable record. Rolling Stone described it as the sound of David Byrne falling in love with normalcy. Frantz and Weymouth's son Robin had been born in 1982, and Byrne's songs turn to love, procreation and parental love, as on Creatures of Love.

The record uses pedal steel on Creatures of Love, bubbling synths on Walk It Down and a drumline snare on Road to Nowhere, while Weymouth's bass and some hand drums keep the funk of earlier albums. The singles were And She Was and Road to Nowhere.
