We can't say we're entirely proud of ourselves for this, but we have to admit we're totally loving Black Fingernails, Red Wine, the third album and latest release from Australian trio Eskimo Joe (MySpace). Sure, it's pop. But it's also totally fun (one might even say irresistible), infectious, danceable pop rock with a New Wave (sometimes almost Depeche Mode-ish) flavor, and a piano often tinkling in the background. Download two of our favorite tracks off the album below:

If those catch your fancy, you can see the band perform live at the World Cafe on Friday with Stars of Track and Field and Jeff Klein.

Can't wait to see how you like their show. I am going to see them in SF in two weeks and I can't wait!!!
I'm afraid I probably won't be able to make it to the show myself; I'll have to read your review and experience it vicariously. :)
Oh man - that sucks!
It was a great show!!!
Here's two videos -
