Frosting on the Beater by The Posies
Frosting on the Beater is an album by The Posies, released in 1993. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Flavor of the Month”, on 15 lists with a best position of #785.
Frosting on the Beater, the Posies' third album, came out on DGC in 1993, and with Don Fleming producing, the power-pop band roughed up their sound and let some darkness in. Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow, who started the band in Bellingham, Washington, still build their songs on Merseybeat and Hollies harmonies, but here the guitars bite and fuzz, and the sweetness has a bruise on it.
"Dream All Day" and "Solar Sister" picked up some airplay, and "Definite Door" became the only Posies single to make the UK top 75. "Flavor of the Month" takes aim at the overnight grunge sensations crowding Seattle, the band's hometown. It was also the last album with original drummer Mike Musburger.
