Here it is! Our new EP "Closer" is out now.

Posted August 5th, 2008 by jedd

We're proud to announce the release of our new EP "Closer!"

Here's the scoop: 3 new songs - including the full track of the recently released as a sneak peak "Closer." A new song called "Safe to Land" and "Prisoner of Hope," which we used as end title credits to the movie "Sons of Lwala."
Also included are 2 favorites that we've re-worked. "Flood" and "Lovesong for a Savior" have been given new life with this re-recording. It's something we've wanted to do for some time, to give the songs some different production, while keeping the soul of the songs we've loved for many years now. We hope you dig the re-interpretations!
Lastly, check out the art work - it's a collaboration between our fine lead singer Dan and our extremely talented friend Christie Little who worked on the artwork for the "Christmas Songs" album. There are many lyrical nods to the song "Closer" in it - we're all fans.

So - go get some new Jars music! And hang on for the full length record to release in early '09!

Long entry

Hey guys,

This long entry thing in the middle eastern language apears to be "adult" material. Can you delete it? Love the new song by the way.

Just downloaded the new Ep from iTunes. (thanks to the 'Just For You' section)
LOVE it. Cannot wait til your next album. Safe To Land is insanely good. I will say that there is no way you can top GOOD MONSTERS. But I can't wait til it comes out.
Congrats guys on putting out great music all these years.

Great Sound, Great EP

Hey fellas,

This is a slick little EP. I love the rework of LSFAS and Flood. It sounds like there's a little Depeche Mode influence in there and I'm digging it. Thanks for all of your hard work.

BTW, When are you coming back to the Jaffa Mosque in Altoona? That was an awesome show and I promise not mix your names up this time ;-)

Dear Jars Of Clay , Dear brothers,

Your music is very inspiring to me. I am struggling to become godly and I have been listening to secular affair, but there's nothing like God's music! I know that I need to re-examing my walk with Christ. Please pray for me, Catspajamas71 to become the godly woman that God wants me to be. I want my heart softened!
I want to be the clay that is moist! So please pray for me. Luv ya!
