Frosting on the Beater is the third album by American rock band The Posies, released in 1993.[7] It featured a darker sound than the band's prior works, in part due to production duties being handled by Don Fleming. "Dream All Day", "Solar Sister" and "Definite Door" were released as singles, with the first two getting moderate airplay and the third being the band's only single to break the UK top 75. Frosting on the Beater was the last album original drummer Mike Musburger appeared on.

"Flavor of the Month" was a swipe at the many overnight-sensation grunge bands in The Posies' hometown of Seattle.[citation needed] "Coming Right Along" appeared on the soundtrack to the movie The Basketball Diaries (1995, Island Records). "Dream All Day" was later used as the title of the band's best-of compilation, released in 2000. The Posies later remade "Flavor of the Month" with brand-new lyrics as "Voyage of the Aquanauts" for the series Bill Nye the Science Guy.

[es] Frosting on the Beater

Frosting on the Beater es un disco del estilo power pop y la obra cumbre de The Posies. Las melodías pop de su predecesor, Dear 21 han dejado paso a un sonido más sucio y guitarrero. Las canciones como «Dream All Day» o «Solar Sister», que abren el disco, tienen esa fuerza de la que carecían las canciones que hasta ese momento Auer y Stringfellow habían entregado.
