Acclaimed rock band Jars of Clay, known for its innovative, intelligent music and humanitarian work worldwide, has delivered its 10th studio album The Long Fall Back to Earth. This 14-track follow-up to its 2006 Good Monsters, seamlessly segues in theme from the concept of “digging into” community on its last album, to the day-to-day experience of being “within” community. Lead vocalist/lyricist, Dan Haseltine, capitalizes on his now-signature ability to write reflective and engaging songs, exploring real-life issues. Haseltine delves into the bare bones reality of the beauty and tension of relationships, and what makes them worth fighting for; a common thread for every listener.
The Long Fall Back to Earth, produced by Jars of Clay and Ron Aniello (Guster, Lifehouse, Leigh Nash), melds compelling lyrical content with hints of an upbeat 80’s influenced, synth-driven flavor. Anthemic, arena-swelling textures and the band’s trademark vocals, amount to the “biggest” sounding Jars of Clay project yet.
