Wildly popular in its native Australia, the alternative-rock trio Eskimo Joe made its first attempt at an international breakthrough with BLACK FINGERNAILS, RED WINE, released in the United States during 2007. Like a more guitar-oriented Keane, the group, led by plaintive-voiced frontman Kavyen Temperley, excels at moody, ornate songs, as exemplified by the chiming "New York" and the tense, driving title track.
