THE POSIES
Frosting On The Beater
[DGC - 1993]
After signing with DGC for their critically acclaimed sophomore album Dear 23 [1990] (produced by John Leckie, whose vast resumé includes helming the board for the likes of Radiohead, Stone Roses, Simple Minds and XTC), the band found themselves with a well-received breakthrough release, which put them on the map and set the stage for a promising expansion of their fan base.
But a funny thing happened before the recording of album number three: the Belligham, WA power poppers watched the scene from neighboring Seattle blow up and whether by circumstance or design, their next record would evidence a harder hitting sound, while retaining the hooky melodies and smooth harmonies that had graced the previous album.
A rocking collection of songs from an outfit that decided to give more power to its pop, without diminishing either element, it features a few of their most beloved songs (including the one-two punch of “Solar Sister” and “Flavor of the Month”) and was released on April 27, 1993.
