Future Spa is the third album by Australian rock band The Fauves. It was released in August 1996.
The album contained two songs that appeared in Triple J Hottest 100, 1996, "Dogs Are the Best People" at No.20 and "Self Abuser" at No.30.[1] It was nominated for Best Alternative Album in the 1997 ARIA awards but lost to Spiderbait's Ivy and the Big Apples.[2][3] In November 2008, The Age reported that the album had sold 15,000 copies,[4] making it the best-selling Fauves album.
Cox noted, "There are so many things you can write about, yet rock tends to limit itself to a very narrow band of what's acceptable. This is just our attempt to broaden that a little. Even if the lyrics aren't great, at least they're different. None of us are claiming to be poets."[5]
