  Music Builds/New T-shirts

  

  Hello Friends and Fans everywhere!

  
  

  Matt here, just wanted to electronically reach out and touch you all with some hot news from the JOC camp.

  
  

  We have successfully completed our first 3 shows of the Music Builds Tour, and if the midwest is any indication it is going to be a great tour. What a monstrous bill of heavy hitters! We did want to pass along however that if you are planning to come out to Music Builds you should know that Jars goes on the first of the four bands, which most nights means we hit the stage at 6pm SHARP! So don't wander in at quarter to 7 and be all "wait, wha? jars is already over? dang it!" cause you will miss 35 power packed minutes of killer new tunes and reinventions of some of the hits of yesteryear. Also I should mention that the tour and our website are currently the only two places that you can get physical copies of our new "Closer" EP, which comes with yacht-tastic free poster inside! You don't want to miss this one, the new tunes are a bit of an appetizer for what the new record will sound like that is currently slated to drop in March 09.

  
  

  I should also mention that you should check out the new merch designs up at our online store. There are some sweet new t's just in time for heading back to school so that all of your friends will know what a hip and discriminating music fan you are. ha.

  
  

  That's all for now...more news about our Christmas plans coming soon!

  
  

  yours truly,
  -matt, and the rest of jars of clay

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

  

  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 Christy 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!

  New Song! "Closer"

  

  Hey friends! Some exciting news.

  
  

  We're into our second stretch of writing new material for our next record and we wanted to let you in on how it's going!

  
  

  There will be a sneak peek, in the form of a new song! Look for the new song "Closer" on my birthday, July 8th, exclusively on iTunes! It's the only way to hear it early…

  
  

  We worked on this song with the wonderful and talented Ron Aniello, who worked with us previously on Who We Are Instead and Good Monsters, too! This song will be included on an EP we'll have coming out soon. Along with some songs you've not heard yet will be two favorites of ours, "Flood" and "Lovesong For A Savior," that we've recorded again, and given a new sound to...

  
  

  Lastly, we'll be selling that EP on the road in the late summer/early fall as we head out with 3rd Day, Switchfoot and Robert Randolph. We've gotten to know most of the folks that will be out with us, and we're looking forward to seeing how we all collaborate together. It's gonna be a great night on the "Music Builds Tour."

  
  

  I hope you come out and see it!
