Andrew Cox wrote "Self Abuser" for Future Spa, the Fauves' third album, released in 1996, and Wayne Connolly handled the whole job, producing, recording and mixing it. The Australian band were out to stretch what a rock lyric could cover: as Cox saw it, rock fences itself into a narrow patch of acceptable subjects, and even if their words weren't great, at least they were different. Nobody in the band, he added, was claiming to be a poet.
Future Spa earned a Best Alternative Album nomination at the 1997 ARIA awards, where Spiderbait's Ivy and the Big Apples took the prize, and by 2008 it had sold 15,000 copies, more than any other Fauves album.
