The Creatures were a duo formed by Siouxsie Sioux (vocals) and Budgie (drums), a side project of members of Siouxsie and the Banshees, noted for percussion-led, exotic and experimental music.

Formed by Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie as a side project of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Key releases include Feast (1983), Boomerang (1989), Anima Animus (1999), Hai! (2003) and the Wild Things rarities collection. The project emphasized tribal percussion and experimental arrangements.

Two DeBaser reviews praise The Creatures' percussion-led, exotic sound and Siouxsie's vocal presence. The writing highlights tribal rhythms, Japanese influences on Hai!, and the group's place alongside Siouxsie and the Banshees. Recommended entries guide listeners toward Hai! and Wild Things.

For:Fans of post-punk, alternative and experimental music; followers of Siouxsie and the Banshees; listeners intrigued by percussion-driven, tribal-influenced sounds.

 How to describe that undefined love for the rhythmic virtuosity of Budgie, that autistic rhythm which becomes traction and contraction, which irreversibly marked the maudit and kaleidoscopic sound of End - Banshees and Beginning - Creatures.

 The album, as can be deduced also from the cover, is strongly minimalist and inspired by Japanese culture (this is also evident from tracks like "Godzilla!" and the use of the daiko, a kind of large Japanese drum), the sounds are a mix between tribal and avant-garde, and naturally, the percussion takes center stage, with the singer's voice occasionally interjecting without ever becoming invasive (for example, in the first song, it appears only at the final phrase).
