ESKIMO JOE - BLACK FINGERNAILS, RED WINE


“All of us stand and point our fingers straight down"

Australia's Eskimo Joe are now on their second single from their new album but I'm in love with this, their first. It starts off a bit ominous, but then launches into a gorgeous verse, which seems to incorporate sounds from INXS, Live, and maybe even some of Savage Garden's knack for melody. The chorus makes a late appearance, but there's so many hooks buried in here that you won't even notice. This song reminds me of when "modern rock" used to be kind of good (i.e. the nineties). Also, I love the lyrics.
