The Posies Frosting on the Beater [Digipak] (2-CD)

Highly Recommended - "...soothing harmonies and lyrical profundities straight from a bedside journal...glows with hummability, paying joyous respects to earlier bubble-gum saints...a sound that slips and slides between luscious melody and psychedelic mindwarp..."
"...Their remarkable evocative sound is steeped in the vocabulary of decades of harmonizing guitar bands....This is no wimpy fluff. Rhythmic smarts and constant changes make the Posies intellectually challenging, as well as sheer fun..."
"...NOTORIOUS BYRD BROTHERS harmonies and sanded-off chord changes and energetic-yet-restrained drum parts..."
Ranked #17 in Melody Maker's list of the 'Albums Of The Year' for 1993 - "...With 'Dream All Day,' 'Solar Sister' and 'Flavour Of The Month' Seattle's Posies contrived one of the greatest trio of pop rock album openers since Big Star's RADIO CITY...."
"...doesn't waste time on pointlessly pretty sounds...backs bittersweet vocal harmonies with full-on drumming and grungy, garage-schooled guitar work that keeps the focus on the Posies' intricate, idiosyncratic tunes..."
"...Their harmony style and keen sense of minor-chord melody are compulsive....this often-remaindered album is probably the best way to remember these virtually unsung heroes of Seattle."
6 - Good - "...Don Fleming's production gives proceedings a perverse edge and the dream-team billing of Wings on Sonic Youth's drug allowance has a blinding impact..."
Paste (magazine) - "[T]he entire album possesses sheer vitality throughout, with no let-up in effort or enthusiasm. Melody and mayhem are offered in equal measure..."
