Editor's review
On "Black Fingernails Red Wine" the Oz act aspires to do for Australian rock something like what Coldplay did for the Brits: bring sturdy, deeply felt songcraft to an arena scale. That's a famously tough transition, but this might manage it. The trio's vocals are at once intimate and world-beating.

Biography
ResponderEliminarYouthful naivety can produce flashes of rock & roll excitement, but genuine experience and the passage of time can turn a good band into a truly great one. Now, eight years on from when the young Fremantle trio leapt onto an Australian stage, Eskimo Joe are taking a big, bold step towards musical greatness with their new album (and U.S. Rykodisc release), Black Fingernails Red Wine.
I always think of things in a concept-record kind of way. So I wanted to make a record as if we were a stadium rock band, explains songwriter and bassist Kav Temperley. If we were like INXS, what kind of record would I want to write
Black Fingernails Red Wine is born of a scene that doesn't always encourage grand statements. But Kav Temperley, Stu MacLeod and Joel Quartermain have never been ones to ascribe to the status quo. Now, completely at home in their own skin, the trio is poised to conquer U.S. shores with the release of their chart-topping, Australian quadruple-platinum, smash album. In the Land of Oz, Eskimo Joe is the biggest thing since INXS.
I had it in my head, Right, I'm going to go away and write a total rock record. If Im going to do it once in my life, this is going to be the time, Temperley explains. And with the whole record, we've tried really consciously to not be self-conscious in our songwriting. It's really easy to want to play it cool ? and as soon as you do, the songs always suffer.
Armed with fully realized demos of songs written over the past two years, the trio spent half of the summer at The Grove Studios, in remote bushland on the N.S.W. Central Coast, crafting an album from their solid blueprints. Enlisting the talented engineer Matt Lovell (The Mess Hall, Jebediah, Sleepy Jackson), Eskimo Joe also stepped up to the desk and took on production duties for the first time. It took a bit for all three of us to come around to that idea, because it?s a bit more responsibility, admits Quartermain. ?But in the end we backed ourselves and it worked well.
As such, the 12 tracks of Black Fingernails Red Wine not only showcase a startling development in Temperley's songwriting, but shine the spotlight on the entire band's expertise with arrangements. No track is given more than it needs; while throbbing drums, warm keyboard atmospheres and ethereal guitars offer enduring depth without weighing down the melodies. From the memorable and haunting keyboard hook of Comfort You to the closing piano-tinged melancholy of How Does It Feel, it's a captivating and complete listen.
The bold production brushstrokes cleverly reflect material that has, thematically, just as much personality on display. If A Song is a City was a metaphorical study of Temperley's life and those within it, Black Fingernails Red Wine takes a more universal stance, the singer confidently slipping in and out of character. Succinct yet subtle, the songs hit you immediately and then steadily creep into your consciousness.
So, after eight years together, Eskimo Joe will finally see their debut release in the US as Eskimo Joe prove there's a whole world of possibilities to explore if you simply follow your heart, listen to your muse and make the most of your talent. Black Fingernails Red Wine is the ambitious sound of a trio that has grown, both inside the studio and out.
