About

With 1997’s <i>Black Fingernails, Red Wine</i>, Eskimo Joe takes inspiration from INXS in its quest to make moody but upbeat songs that reach for the big moment. On “Beating Like a Drum,” the band’s atonal guitars coalesce in a soaring chorus, while “Sarah” is a showcase for vocalist Kavyen Temperley, who always performs as if relaying an urgent message to his countrymen. Anyone with a fondness for David Bowie or U2 will gravitate towards “Setting Sun,” in which restless beats and hallucinatory chords build into a brightly tuneful sing-along.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

5 is only titled "Forever Young" on the first 30000 copies of the album; all copies thereafter will have the song listed as "Setting Sun"
(this was presumably done to avoid confusion with Youth Group's song of the same name)
