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. It was nominated for Best Alternative Album in the 1997 ARIA awards but lost to Spiderbait's ''Ivy and the Big Apples''. In November 2008, ''The Age'' reported that the album had sold 15,000 copies, 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."

Lazy Highways
''Lazy Highways'' is the fourth studio album by Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne indie band The Fauves. The album has been described as the band's Australiana-album. The sleeve artwork is very similar in design to the Miles Davis album Bitches Brew. Cox later said, "When we made ''Lazy Highways'' we knew it wouldn't do as well as Future Spa because we weren't interested in making '' Future Spa'' mark 2. ''Lazy Highways'' had too many quiet moments for the average mosher in the front row and our popularity went down accordingly." Newey added, "We played ''Future Spa'' on the road for so long, we did like 140 shows after its release. We were just exhausted and that's largely responsible for the mellower tone on this record. We didn't feel like cranking it up and going crazy."
