] It is their best selling album to date. The album was released as the band's debut album in the United States on 25 September 2007.

The first single released off the album is the title track "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" which was released in May 2006. The second single is "Sarah" which was released in September 2006. The third single is "New York" which was released in February 2007. The fourth single is "Breaking Up" which was released in June 2007. The fifth single is "London Bombs" which was released in October 2007.

In early 2007 a special edition of the album was released featured a bonus remix EP which was originally sold at Eskimo Joe concerts during their Beating Like a Drum tour.

Production

To record the album the band enlisted sound engineer, Matt Lovell (The Mess Hall, Jebediah, Sleepy Jackson) and also stepped up to the desk and took on production duties themselves for the first time.

The album is noted for being heavily influenced by the production techniques and sound of early 80's rock, with many similarities to vintage Icehouse and INXS. This has led to Tony Martin ("Get This", Triple M), back-announcing their songs by calling them 'INXSkimo Joe'. Kavyen Temperley explains "I always think of things in a concept-record type of way. So I wanted to make a record as if we were a stadium rock band" "If we were like INXS, what kind of record would I want to write?". Interestingly enough, the band recorded "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" on the central coast of NSW's "The Grove Studios." The Grove Studios were originally known as "Mangrove Studios" and were formerly owned by INXS bass player Garry Gary Beers.
