Frausdots was created at Beachwood Sparks' appearance at the Benicàssim Festival in 2002. As Brent Rademaker says, "The Cure were playing and something they sent out in the night air sunk into our hearts and Michelle and I fell in love...." Michelle is Michelle Loiselle, whose only previous experience was singing back up with Guns & Roses; Brent is a member of Beachwood Sparks, as well as The Tyde. Once magic sprang into their lives, Brent and Michelle went back home and hid from the sunshine of Los Angeles in the studio, where they recorded the songs for the Frausdots' debut album. Brent defines the band’s style as a growing imagery that includes "stylish addiction, eternal search for warmth, fashion death trends, unbearable light and the desert at night, exploring the deepest darkness of the forest and emerging higher than the sun and making contact beyond the sun." Needless to say, Brent is able to fit all this into a few songs and actually succeeds in making great pop songs. Yes, this record is a happy ending to a lucid dream. A dream that merges The Cure with New Order. Fits nicely to Wire, Inspiral Carpets, Television, The Soft Boys, Clinic, The LAs, The Beta Band, Railway Children, Broken Social Scene...
