The single was released on 25 September 2006. It was also appeared as a limited edition, 7" picture disc, together with the band's fourth album, Gala Mill (September 2006). CompositionThe song starts off "hazy" and "distorted" over "restrained drumming" and gradually builds up, "expanding and filling with screeching guitars and a contagious chorus of “na na na’s”". The instrumentation on this track has been described as "jarring" while Liddiard's vocals have been described as "brutal".[1] Liddiard describes the intro as a "fudged Townes Van Zandt riff" whilst the outro was improvised by Rui Pereira.[2] The song, whose lyrics were written over "Same Old Man" by Karen Dalton, was composed after the passing of Liddiard's mother[3][1] and has been described as "an anthem of sorts for the disenfranchised and melancholic"[1]. The allegorical lyrics contain biblical and maritime imagery and has been compared to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner[4][5], its protagonist describing the sinking of his ship as the titular "sharks" surround him "fin by fin".[2] ReceptionCriticalThe song was originally received favorably, with Brandon Stosuy of Pitchfork calling it "one of the best rockers of the year, a seemingly endless path of riffs and dynamics and a good introduction to Liddiard's nihilistic subject matter".[4] Mike Diver of Drowned in Sound was more mixed in his assessment, calling it "a decent composition executed decently, but far from the original blast of frazzled blues it wishes to be", comparing it unfavorably to their live performances.[6] LegacyIn a poll of contemporary Australian songwriters in 2009, organised by national youth broadcaster Triple J, "Shark Fin Blues" was voted as the greatest Australian song.[7][1][8] Denham Sadler of The Guardian writes that "part of the song’s power is that Liddiard refuses to provide the listener a throwaway silver lining [...] instead it is a raw and brutally honest account of depression [...] a song that unflinchingly bares its writer’s despair, detailed in an intimate, introspective way."[1] In popular cultureIn April 2013, the song "Shark Fin Blues" was used in the soundtrack of Episode 2 of the American television series Rectifys first season.[9] Track listing

It debuted at number No. 71 on the ARIA Singles Chart on the week commencing 18 August.[10] The video clip was released via YouTube on 11 August.[11] ReceptionIn an album review, Helena Ho from Renowned for Sound said the song "begins with simple piano chords so that the bare beauty of Higgins' vocals are highlighted. She sings with such passion and emotion, you can hear her voice tremble with it. It's liberating when the strings and piano eventually swell together for the final hook."[12] Ali Birnie from Beat Magazine said the song is the album highlight.
